thanks for that examples. For me it shows that performance boost is 
worth for updates without having change of behaviour.
I don't know why so many fear that they loose a "stable" version. Look 
at the bugfixes - the release wasn't stable, as the fixes shows. And who 
ever fears shouldn't update.
And - performance boost is a good selling argument for the clients. The 
normal case is that you sell the client the update. Best reason: 
security enhancements. Security is important for each client. Then, 
performance is very important too, it gives a feeling of a professional 
product. But this is only marketingwise.

And - all is a continuing process - new bugs will be found, fixed and 
committed for the next release, where i come back to the wanted 
situation of having more releases at all in the same time.
