That's what he said they did. that's the joke.

>so they changed the existing code to just check that predicate first, and the code sped up a zillion times, much more than with Ken's solution.

but since you've now spent all this time developing some beautiful solution for .01% of the actual data flow. Not the best use of dev time, essentially.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I understood it as "Check that predicate first and if it doesn't match, run the old solution".
