I agree that would be nice, but I don't have access to any Power machine
suitable for this kind of benchmarking :-( Robert, any chance you still
have access to that machine?
It's worth mentioning that those bechmarks (I'm assuming we're talking
about the numbers Rober shared in [1]) were done on patches that used
the eager accounting approach (i.e. walking all parent contexts and
updating the accounting for them).
I'm pretty sure the current "lazy accounting" patches don't have that
issue, so unless someone objects and/or can show numbers demonstrating
I'wrong I'll stick to my plan to get this committed soon.
