Agreed.

I'd like to spend some time making sure the 2.4 code is a little saner
than it is now. For example, during start up the objects being killed
during the rebuild from store log are being logged to store.log causing
it to blow up to stupid proportions. Gotta fix that.

Agreed. Once some cbdata + mempool optimisations go in, I'm going to want
to follow with network and storage optimisations, and I'd rather not corrupt
the 2.4 branch if its going to become a -STABLE release, since my changes
are .. creative. :)
