Yes, they are independent.

There are definitely some advantages to moving forward, but there have been
two performance regressions recently. However those come after speed ups, so
the net result is probably still a win.

aa8454786457b8b3144e8859da15ac3719cc0602 (2010-08-20) fixes the worst of those
performance regressions. The other is related to xattribs being read all the
time and is being investigated.

The more recent code also has various robustness improvements that come from
running fuzz testing.

If you want to hold off for a few days I'll give a better indication.
