I personally think performance enhancements are off the table for stable backports. It's really a trade-off between exposing our users to regressions and fixing bugs, and performance enhancements IMHO fall below the bar.
Would you not agree that there is some threshold at which bad performance becomes a blocking issue, just like any other bug? I think the problem is in determining where that threshold lies.
Right, sometimes a performance issue becomes a bug because it renders the system unusable. But in most cases it's an improvement, which is considered a feature. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx)
