You benchmarked it then?

The point of the config options is so the new versions can be about as small 
as the old ones.  If they're not (with the same set of features enabled), 
this is a bug we'd probably like to know about.

Do you know this for a fact, or are you guessing?  And isn't this a repeat of 
#2?

Any given snapshot won't change unless you update it, but 0.9.26 was 
incredibly buggy and lots of packages are known not to work against it, and 
most of the known bugs have since been fixed.

Then that would have answered my question.  I asked _why_ he was doing it.

You're the one who interpreted a question as an attack.  To answer your 
question: I'm a volunteer, participating here for free, and I owe you 
nothing.  However, since it seems to bother you: welcome to my spam filter.  
I'll never even see one of your messages again (even sent directly), so you 
won't be bothered by replies from me.
