Yes, of course! The C++ code is really not great. Even the Fortran code could 
easily be optimized a bit more. However, I think they are representative of 
many C++ and Fortran codes written by scientists.

I do not plan to submit that very soon. However, I plan to contact the editors 
very soon.

My point of view is the following: I don't think it would be honest to include 
in a paper the point using map-improvements before this branch is merged so I 
would rather wait for it...

Yes, I can really help on such blog post! But I'm definitively not the right 
guy to explain the principle of map-improvements! Also, for me, the possible 
comment in Nature Astronomy has a higher priority.
