At the risk of beating a dead horse, I just wanted to point out an exchange on Twitter [1] which _proves_ that having a large number of open tickets discourages our users from opening new issues when they encounter bugs, even severe performance regressions. I recommend, if you think there is any reason to believe an issue is inactive, close it! We can always re-open issues if the re-occur.
