No no, not important at all. Just curious minds thats all.

So the set of all perormance patches to CVS during the last ~24 hours plus
the col info patch tegether
add up to ~20% performance boost when filtering with ethereal?

That is very good if so.  I dont think there are any other performance
patches during the last days or so that would have had a
significant performance boost. Most of it is probably from the col info
patsh.
