+Performance improvements
+========================
+
+We don't try to import all backends in backends.__init__ unless we *want*
+to.
+
+Roundup may now use the Apache mod_python interface (see installation.txt)
+which is much faster than the standard cgi-bin and a little faster than
+roundup-server.
+
+There is now an experimental multi-thread server which should allow faster
+concurrent access.
+
+In the hyperdb, a few other speedups were implemented, such as:
+
+- record journaltag lookup ("fixes" sf bug 998140)
 - unless in debug mode, keep a single persistent connection through a
   single web or mailgw request.
-- extended security.addPermissionToRole to allow skipping the separate
-  getPermission call
