Not really a nice comment but a real issue?

[Pedro Duque Vieira]

In the blog post he makes it sounds like it isn't good for anything to have
that. That it is just a bug, something that wasn't well thought through and
reviewed or a pointless feature. Which I totally disagree with. I think it
can be very interesting to take advantage of that.

I think the performance problem he measured was more about the buffering
issue than about dynamically reloading the stylesheet whenever there's a
change. But yeah, this might have a performance impact. If there is indeed
a considerable impact, perhaps we could have a flag to opt out of this
feature. That way we can have the best of both worlds and not have this
feature impact the apps performance in production.

Cheers,
