That's definitely one area in which the docs are lacking -- I've heard
several complaints about this myself. I think we've been hesitant to
do more in part because the docs must always be categorically correct,
and must not use weasel words. I think it's hard to talk about
performance while maintaining the general tone of the documentation. I
don't know what can be done about that.
