Interesting discussion and I think I can agree with the sentiments there,
but my interest in David's post is that he did care at all and did in
a way that's hard to understand coming from an open source developer.
It's much easier to understand comments for new OpenBSD releases
like "10 years after Linux OpenBSD kernel gains X". This "why does he
spend his time optimizing dfly" looks like a joke but I think he means it.
