Thank you very much for these notes.

Yes, specifically, I'm looking for places vrequests are on the stack
and moving those to be on the heap. Then, I'll take a look at the functions
we define as static and see if I can force those to stay out of line.

Perhaps it was in a hallway conversation, but I also remember something
about our lack of doxygen comments. I pushed a patch to gerrit with
a doxygen configuration and a makefile target to build the doxygen
output.  That will make it easier for me, at least, to see the generated
output and make improvements over time.

It was an excellent conference. Thank you to everyone that ran it
and participated.

Best regards,
Mike
