Not to put to fine a point on it, but actually this needs further
explanation.

The entire packaging system is still a work in progress.  Performance
today is no indication of how performance will be if/when we finally
ship an enterprise release.  The traditional model for ON development
has teams deliver finished, or phased products to the gate.  We're not
in ON yet, and our project is still under active development.  Compare
both features and performance of 2008.05 to our upcoming 2010.03 release
to get a sense of what we've been up to.

If you'd like to contribute and have a specific idea for making
performance better, that's great.  We're always happy for competent
help.  As it stands, we have a bunch of ideas for improving performance
and will continue to work on those until we finish pkg(5).
