Hi Jan,

	First - great to have you working on this =)

	It is one possible optimization; but of course - it is quite nice to
have general code where we can add commands without touching all the
intermediate message multiplexers =)

	I -think- performance issues are related to multiplexing, message
prioritizing, managing buffering, and a host of other exciting issues;
(until recently perhaps lock contention too) - at least CPU time doesn't
dominate the profiles I've seen either for the Kit prisoner or WSD.

	So in general, while I love optimization, we should profile heavily
before optimizing I think - and follow the profiles =) Of course with a
different form-factor and set of profiling tools we'll perhaps get some
new use-cases to optimize for your use-case; but even so - I'd like to
see a profile first personally.

	Thanks !

		Michael.
