I had a quick look at the patch and I strongly recommend to split it in multiple patches which can be reviewed more
easily. This allows also to detect easier which change breaks things and also to measure which change increases speed
and which change is not needed.

In general, I am not happy with the merge of the four passes as it makes maintenance much harder.
