I think the code is completly ok. There was a small bug in but this was
found quickly. The speed can and must be improved but I don't see reason
doing this in a first patch. For me its more important that there is a start
for this feature. Also nobody of the players has compained yet about the
speed loss, which will be reduced anywhy if all works.

I hope if the next patch will send to the mailling list it is more commented
by others.

This is wanted and needed, no doubt. I like this and some others probably
also.
