[TYPO3-project-4-3] Is it time to ship optimized TYPO3 by default?

[Thomas Rehhoff]

Hi Dimitry, thumbs up for this proposal. Most of the people I know in the 
TYPO3 agencies have more or less total control of the servers they run TYPO3 
on anyway, so why cater for the lowest denominator?
Ingmar Schlecht made a good point I believe, in the discussion of bug #4962 
though, that for the first time users, who install TYPO3, it would be better 
that it worked, rather than experience a broken BE or a non-working system.
I don't know enough to cough up a solution, but giving TYPO3 a faster BE 
would be really great.

/Thomas
