In reply to Sarah Gooding.

Sorry Sarah, forgive me. I had no idea I would set off the firestorm I did. Just to set the record straight, I don't have an ax to grind, just a preference that I expressed.

There was a lot of attention that Matt gave to the speed of the customizer due to the current architecture. I get that. To reach the level of optimization he would like to see, it is apparent that he believes a major rewrite is in order. I would have to agree.

That said, how critical is speed to this process at this juncture? It isn't part of the everyday experience of editing and publishing content, so I see it as a trade-off that is not time critical for most users. What do you think?
