My apologies. While I don't see the name-calling towards an individual, my previous post did mention possible bad faith, and I would not been glad to have my post written about my code. I also slightly misunderstood what the author's code was doing. I can see how it is not conducive to helpful discussion.
The author optimized their code in a way that was fast enough, and fast enough to massively change the entire business process around their code. It's very commendable. Further optimizations may have not been worth it.
