Sure. My understanding of the process we'd like to follow on this sort of thing is: 1. make proposal, test for unseen negative effects or basic rejections 2. code performance prototype 3. assemble performance evidence 4. debate utility 5. complete coding 6. further review Step 3 is always there for performance work, so even if you don't mention it, I'll assume everybody wants to see that as soon as possible before we progress. -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
