Thanks for that. As for timing, I have no hard numbers. In fact, after
some checking, I just realized that my app that has been using nxutils
still even though I am on master! Maybe my slowdown was a coincidence with
other changes I have made?
Everyone should remember to clear out nxutils.so because the build/clean
process won't necessarially do it unless you blow away your install dir.
