Hi Tiemo,

File a bug report showing the slowdown in your production code. The
engineers may very well be able to resolve it so that it isn't an issue.

In LC 7 (and thus in 8) the way that the engine stores values was
completely changed. There are still optimizations to be made. Just make the
team aware of them with a reproducible case.
