     =============

    If you had taken the time to read and understand the release notes you
    might not have led yourself down this path of misunderstanding.

    The developers have been very up front with the fact that the 5.x releases
    up to and including 5.2.1 have all been development-oriented debugging
    releases that have not been optimized for performance and that include a
    lot of debugging code.

    5.3 is the first release of the 5.x series for which the developers have
    stated that they have removed some (most?) debugging code and have made
    important performance releases.
