(I did it already earlier... excuse me, I must tell, in in my humble
option V is actually a kind of joke... it must be a ASF project to be
such widely used and celebrated. So I have choose another other OS
project, then I have realized that's also bad (a textbook example of the
lack of designing ahead, and the traps of backward compatibility, an
sf.net project with a stormy life-line), especially after I have
invested an enormous amount of work on helping it. Anyway, I still think
it's far better than V.)

I didn't studied too much nio yet, so the question is maybe stupid...
but for my own enlightenment, and because there was some nio threads
here earlier that AFAIR lead nowhere: What's the big thing that makes a
template engine lot faster if it uses nio?

Absolutely. Furthermore, I found that most users are just lazy to report
any bugs unless that's *really* on the way of their job. So now I think
that the adequate policy is to pester them with red+blinking "PLEEEASE
click here, if you have found a bug!" links everywhere, where after the
clicking, they can immediately enter the bug report into a textarea,
press submit, and that's all. They are sooo f***** lazy to report
mistakes, I hate people sometimes because of that... you know, I think
"Boy, I give you this for free, and all I ask to help me to spot the
bugs."

Oh well... Things went really desperate when you doesn't *know* that it
is xmas day. ;-)
