Okay. I think there's two important pieces of information missing here:
- What does this buy us? I guess the answer is performance, but it
would be sure to quantify in which scenarios and how much of a
speedup this buys us.
- Any reasoning why those two callers don't need the information.
Reviewers can try to piece it together manually, but it would be
nice to hold their hand and lead them through the change.
Thanks!
