Yes, if we can do that, that will be far more easier..I will double check that 
if apply_transaction is been used from any of the performance sensitive path 
and do the changes accordingly..Thanks..

As far as I know, there are no current users which want to use the Transaction 
later.  You could also change apply_transaction to copy the Transaction into a 
unique_ptr since I don't think it's used in any performance sensitive code 
paths.
