Ok. fine.
... we should then revive the ideas of keeping note of MADAMs (e.g., on a
Wiki or alike) as reference for those who cannot be present ...

IMHO, our task should be the following:
- analyze whether there is indeed a significat performance difference
between early and late constraint checking;
(5% do not justify any further time to be spent on this)
- and if so, analyze under which circumstances which altertative performs
(significatly) better or worse than the other;
- and (only) then try to find out where the (significat) performance
difference comes from
- and (only) then
+ either try to eliminate the difference;
+ or
* make dump/restore use the most suitable alternative (as far as
possible with reasonable effort);
* and document our experiences to give adivce for users
