I think I’ve been as productive as I’m likely to be with the bug fixing for the short term.  I’m not asserting that there are no more bugs in my sword, nor am I saying there are no more improvements that can be made, rather I’m observing that sometimes the best way to tackle a difficult problem is to take a step back.  Research in cognitive psychology has repeatedly demonstrated that sometimes you need to let the less consciously active parts of the brain munch away at a problem “in the background”, and I’m only to happy to switch to that mode now, since I’m kind of “wrapped around the axle” at the moment.
