Comment 6 for bug 689741

The reason why I posted to ubuntu/launchpad, is that I don't expect the upstream to really care about this enough to release a new version in a timely manner, as its not something that directly causes crashes or a security leak, it just causes a big performance drop for some applications. I would have thought the distro maintainers may want it out faster as it in theory will improve the overall performance of the distribution in all of its releases, which is a huge benefit to the millions of end users.
