You're the one who should try to convince us to merge your jumbo patch... If your proposed solution is not faster than the existing code, you'd better come up with a solid and representative benchmark showing that the difference is not significant. If your 'solution' is trading 'jar size' and 'readability' against run-time performance (for the common case assuming logNORMAL), we won't merge it. Freenet is slow enough as is. Hint: your doing it wrong, the one way to make it faster and nicer is to use dependancy injection Florent _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl@freenetproject.org https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
