I'm not a contributor (maybe one day), but I'm glad there is process designed 
to be slower. I don't think any serious company would work with a project where 
over a 1000 lines of code are changed in half a day. How can you expect 
stability out of that?

An apples to oranges comparison doesn't tell you much. One coder has no 
community to deal with, is not spread across multiple time zones, knows all of 
the code intimately, etc. There are some advantageous. And even more 
disadvantageous over time.

Many of our process are designed to be slower.

Apache has a motto - "community over code".

Pure velocity is not necessarily the goal of an Open Source project.

Personally, I think we do things one of the many right ways :)
