This thing was seriously slowing down the site of one huge customer, which 
uses two TYPO3 instances. After patching it wroks well and I was not asked 
to look at this site for more than half a year (earlier it was a regular 
problem for us). How can I prove to you that it is useful? I can't. You can 
give a -1 and block it. This is what you did. Nice thing to do given that 
we git rid of a huge headache with this simple patch.

That's what I meant by my message: the review system does not let useful 
patches in. It is so easy to ignore or given a -1, that good stuff is 
blocked but memory increasing and slowing down patches get through. So the 
review system becomes evil, which actually makes TYPO3 seriously worse.
