If you work with LLM agents, you will immediately be able to tell this issue is written by one. The time cost of this sort is almost certainly not real, as others have pointed out.

I’ve had agents find similar “performance bottlenecks” that are indeed BS.

as one of the commenters to the issue wrote, arguing whether the text is ai-generated or not is essentially useless.

the important question is: is this an actual performance bug?

The question is whether credence, and therefore time, should be given to the claim that the performance bug exists.
