He certainly didn't mean that (or I hope that, at least :). It's just that 
performance-enhancement patches need to be tested like any other patches to 
make sure they are really OK and don't make it worse for someone else.

And to achieve that, I think it's to keep performance-enhancing code hidden 
away in defines as long as that's possible. For example, I like the idea of 
task #10173 (https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?10173).
