Sure Andrzej, I *sincerely* apologize. I felt Houston and Gus could've received some more help from you while they were working on the release. But, I take my words back. I know that you care deeply about performance ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-14691), and please accept all my help whenever you need. I shall focus on making automated performance testing a higher priority.
