Hi, Simon:

     Thanks for looking into this.

The revisions i proposed are complementary for the same purpose, and 
also reside in the same code segment.

I named them 2 items to clarify the details. Maybe it would be better to 
name them 2 steps in the same revision to avoid confusion.


And yes, i do have some performance result below
