I get it now, thanks :)

I understand you made this change for performance reasons. Was it
really a bottleneck though? I don't want to undermine your work and I
probably don't know enough to begin with so bear with me. I am under
the impression you implemented a clever change that wasn't critical
but made the module implementation a lot harder. Reverting it or
disabling it for modules might be a solution? What do you think?
