Those look like some pretty solid wins.  Can you provide more details about configuration
(e.g. with/without replication) and benchmark parameters (e.g. number of clients/threads)?
I think the next step is to determine when clients should use this path and how they find
that out, so that we can make it happen “automagically” if/when the appropriate option is
turned on.  For now it’s probably OK if it’s incompatible with TLS, though we’ll have to
address that eventually.  Nice work!
