Mike, that is fallacious reasoning. The discussion is about
ggc_free, not performance. ggc_free does not automatically equate with
performance. Linking the two issues and then arguing that people who
disagree with ggc_free are not interested in performance and are
inhibiting developers trying to improve performance is inappropriate and
unwarranted.
