I haven't seen that for the current ac patches, either.

Of course, you've tested this, haven't you?

pre2 works OK on low memory for me but its performance on 64MB sucks
here.  pre3 works fine on 64MB but its performance on 8MB sucks even
more.  You simply CANNOT tell from looking at the code that it "will
work well for everybody out there on every hardware".
