Much is now being done to remedy performance problems -- so I do believe what 
you said is needlessly rude (even if there is a grain of truth to it).  This 
is an issue that has crept up upon the developers as new features were added 
-- many of which were asked for by the users. 

Software development seems to often work a lot like article development  -- 
many new things are added by different people, but after a point the software 
or article needs to be heavily edited and reorganized to resore efficiency 
and flow (although, admittedly, the php software never was /very/ efficient 
to my recollection -- it still rocks though).
