thanks for applying the patch!
Unfortunately I just noticed some mistakes in my wording :(
Currently the sentence says
"code [...] may run significantly slower [...] than they did [...]"
I'm not a native speaker, but I guess it would be more correct
to write
"code [...] may run significantly more slowly [...] than it did [...]"
I realized that we did not actually update this back then, and
will admit that "significantly more slowly" feels less natural
than "significantly slower" to me, but then I am not a native
speaker either. ;-)
Sandra, what is your take on the patch below?
Errrr.... I would have written "more slowly" (since this is an adverb
modifying "run"), but apparently both usages are correct.
