I do appreciate commentary on the quality of the code you're reading or using
in Twisted.  Small inefficiencies should probably just be ignored; if something
doesn't show up in a profile somewhere, then it's almost certainly not worth
optimizing.

We _do_ have a bugtracker that you could submit bugs to -- 

    http://twistedmatrix.com/users/itamarst.twistd/bugs/

A mention on the list (as the bugtracker still doesn't have e-mail
notification) should probably accompany that.

Be forewarned, though, that anything you perceive to be an "issue" with the
framework might be there by design, or too much trouble to fix.  If you are
going to suggest changes that you have neither the time or inclination to test
the impact of, they could very well be ignored.
