whilst performance does look staggeringly good, it is entirely negated by the pitiful rationalisations made against not being open source. given everything that's happened regarding privacy recently, why on earth should anyone trust their binaries?

it might fly in the world of Windows, but i can't see this becoming a thing on Linux.

Yeah, it inspires a reaction of "these numbers look surprisingly good" followed by "the only evidence I have for its performance is that a person who is clearly crazy claimed they got these results".

I would like to see some independent testing, by somebody who is alert for benchmark-cheating hacks.

I'm sure I read that it only works on *nix environments, because Windows execution is slower. If true, it doesn't fly in any worlds.
