EXACTLY

Sorry I didn't answer in full, but I've been listening to people say its
not important for so long, I'm pretty tired of it by now.

We are talking about merging a thing that has the ability to make some
maths faster, at huge cost to the project, in two days I wrote a new
extension called parallel that can make *any* code faster if you have the
cores, which we all do, without complicating anything, and without cost.
Just a bit of thinking necessary.

I don't object to the JIT at all, but without zts it's a non starter for
me. The fact that there are easy improvements that could be done for ZTS
that we seem to being held to ransom for is just awful.

I wish more people would really think ...
