In fact, you'd be lucky if you could get the community to buy into the
idea at all over one summer. "Maximize performance on flash" is not
even on the radar screen at this point, much less agreed to, and
certainly not agreed-to to the point of sacrificing any other value.
You might be able to get some localized changes applied, but any change
large enough to risk de-stabilization of the code, or cause
unpredictable performance loss for currently supported environments,
would probably be rejected out of hand.
