Hi Steven,

You can try to persuade Daniel that including it in the branch would be 
a good idea, but I doubt if he would agree.  The problem is that the 
patch is too new and has the potential to introduce sublte new bugs 
which are not immediealtey obvious from reviewing the code.  I would 
rather that the 2.16 branch produce a working-but-slow ar than a 
fast-but-broken one.

Cheers
   Nick
