Hi Stas, and All,

I understand that there is a strong desire for this thread to be dead.
However, after reading this and all related threads and wiki, I find that
one item is still unclear, at least to me.

What, if any, performance penalty should we expect with the proposed
namespace changes when executing existing code that does not use
namespaces?  Do we need to change existing namespace-free code in order to
avoid any potential performance penalties?  Has anyone benchmarked the
changes yet to see if the performance penalty, if any, is actually
significant for some set of common usage cases?

If it's too soon to answer that last question then perhaps the whole
performance debate is a bit premature.
