 Replying to [comment:10 chriscct7]:
 > @dmsnell do you have any performance benchmarks before and after patch
 to demonstrate the performance improvement?

 Unfortunately I don't @chriscct7. Earlier in the process I had attempted
 to benchmark it, but the difference wasn't that significant on my tests.
 The variation, likely due to external effects on the server, was higher
 than the performance impact and so I wasn't able to nail anything down.

 Maybe we could build a blog with millions of posts and get some valuable
 data there. I haven't spent the time to get these numbers because I simply
 wasn't sure how valuable they are. We know that there ''is'' some level of
 overhead here and we know that the code isn't ''protecting'' us against
 anything, so it seems like it should disappear.

 Thanks for the review!
