AFAIR the implementation back then brought some huge performance problems with it, that's why the project was stopped and the community was asked for "proposing" ideas/implementations/patches etc. because the core developers had to focus on other things. I don't know in which relation Jessies patch out-performs the original implementation (it woul be interesting, though), but after all it's good to know that someone had the guts to write this kind of patch. I think it's up to the users to install & test the patch, provide the maintainer with bug reports, flowers and candy and hope that the patch gets somewhen officially part of a PHP(5) release.
