[TYPO3-mvc] Fluid performance patch backport to 4.5?!

[Christian Kuhn]

Hey there,


next to all the current discussion about making the full 4.7 extbase 
work with 4.5 as well, I'd like to raise another point, that would be 
fully in-line with the 'LTS and backports' strategy from [1]:

Next to cool new features in 4.6 and 4.7, there was one patch to 
4.6-extbase that makes the 4.6 package important and can be a major 
blocker for usage of 4.5. The fluid performance patch in 4.6 [2] is a 
major performance boost for fluid.

Imho it is very worth backporting this single piece to 4.5: Performance 
improvements are officially allowed backports for LTS. Sebastian 
mentions a single not backwards-compatible change, I think we should 
take a closer look to this and see if we can apply the whole performance 
patch to 4.5 LTS.

I'll spend some time on this within the next days and hope to come up 
with a realistic statement on whether or not this backport is do-able.


Regards
Christian
