oops I also meant to say. The performance work had some modest benefit. 
The last time that I ran the test it was it took 23.5hrs on 18 cores. 
I'm not down to 14 cores and it took 22hrs.

Hello Ben,

Many thanks for running these very very important tests!

Good to hear.

There are still issues, though, but I have a sense that we are in a much
better place than we were previously, when you first started to run
these monster tests.

Cool. These were one of the area I focused the most on for this 2.1 release.

I have addressed some of the asserts in some latest patches that went in
today.

Several of these should now be gone, I think.

I'll go ahead and release 2.1.  I'll address the remaining issue later
unless someone beats me to it.

Thanks again.
