I do know that users are interested in performance gains - and it is 
definitely user facing - and as such I try to include these things in 
the release announcement (which I'm currently drafting) as part of 
making the release available. Similarly, we do need to use discretion 
with how we discuss performance enhancements in the release announcement 
to ensure we make directionally accurate claims and look towards broad 
impact.

I've noted the claims on upper/lower; we'll see if it makes the cut in 
the release announcement.

Thanks,

Jonathan
