Good to hear.  At least Trevor and I aren't alone.

I don't think so, because there's no guarantee that submitters will use 
easily searchable language.

The search options are pretty broad, though, so I was at least able to 
come up with a search for all open issues where any v7 has been listed 
as the target:

(Mind those line wraps <g>)

First in that list is one from you, which does thankfully include 
"performance" in its summary:
<http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15447>

Nice demo stack - not only clearly illustrates the issue, but fun to watch.

I've added a confirmation there for Linux, and some additional notes 
that may be helpful.

Looking forward to hearing from the team on this one - it's a very 
interesting case, since both v7.0.5 and the noticeably faster v6.7.5 
both use the Skia graphics subsystem.
