Andy, this last recommendation is at odd with your first statement.
I agree we should look for performance gains in other places. But we should do that too, not instead. 20% is such a large number that we ought to address this first.
I personally like Elena's first proposal, to pass null. I think it's simple and while I agree it *may* cause some disruption the gain is such that it makes it worthwhile. Think about the number of people/users who will benefit from it vs the number of component developers who will have to update their components...
