I agree completely, though I also agree with Jaak about the
documentation which we should use to patch the weaknesses of C++.

Anyways, maybe we should avoid refactoring and optimization in the end
of the release cycle. If those changes had been done in the beta phase
they could have gone unnoticed.

I also have said that optimization for optimization's sake is bad. All
optimizations should be either trivial and leading to more
understandable code or be backed up by hard evidence of being critical
for actual use cases. We have some weak points in the processor and
memory usage but they won't go away with casual refactoring.
