I get similar results on the conversion benchmarks > in the benchmark suite. > I'm unsure about the explanation. In the common case, {{delete _state}} > should be extremely fast, since the state is NULL. Yet, it seems it adds > significant overhead. Perhaps because of exception handling? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
