Just a statement that it should, and increasingly antagonistic refusals to elaborate further. It's not even that I disagree with OP's argument that this is worth changing, I disagree with the premise that OP has even made an argument. If it's not worth OP's time to fully motivate a change, why is it worth any of our time to discuss it?

As a remotely concrete suggestion for how the OP could improve things,
maybe there could be a before/after comparison of code you need to
write,
and some performance numbers, too. Or if the goal isn't increased
performance, then what is it. I'm failing to find a cromulent
description of what
the benefit of the suggested change is, or what the goal of the work is.
