It’s always worth discussing what features were thrown out to get the performance boost, whether it’s fair for those features to impose a tax on all users who don’t or rarely use those features, and whether there’s a way to rearrange the code so that the lesser used features are a low cost abstraction, one that you mostly only pay if you use those features and are cheap if not free if you don’t.

There’s a lot of spinoff libraries out there that have provoked a reaction from the core team that cuts down cost of their implementation by 25, 50%. And that’s a rising tide that lifts all boats.
