13 He is stating that GLEP 55 makes things slower. I quote:
14
15 "so with glep55 caching it is actually slower!"
16
17 The only possible change to GLEP 55 performance-wise is in the file
18 name recognition, and that's so obviously not an issue that there's no
19 way anyone can take it seriously.
20
21 Unless you seriously think he's claiming that GLEP 55 does away with the
22 need for storing EAPI in metadata cache, which is even more obviously
23 nonsense...
24
25 Either way, he's trolling and needs to be called on it.
