As suggested by Amit at [1], I have reduced the number of test cases
in the v17-0001 patch to ensure they are concise and focused.
I conducted performance testing on the current HEAD and the latest
v17-0001 patch (available at [2]). Here are the observations based on
five runs:-
- The difference in execution time between HEAD and the v17-0001 patch
was 1.62 seconds.
- This corresponds to a 22.44% difference in performance.
