Hi Joe,

Ok I see, I have stumbled over the semantical grammar of your sentence. English is not my mother 
tongue. You set the benefit and the disadvantage of 1 approach in concurrence.

I have read the concurrence of 2 possible benefits of the 2 possible approaches:
- better API
- better performance

Thanks, Ulf
