I actually checked patch 6, because you referred to it in the description - but the performance data is actually in patch 5. Which nicely demonstrates why such figures belong into 0/N as well. Please also improve the desciption of the performance figures: what does plain/multi/delta mean, and convert into nicely digestible before/after performance comparison with human readable percentage figures. "It got faster by 50% when XYZ" is so much nicer to read for everyone involved.
