We're preparing a branch that should improve the situation on the
shell/scope side a bit (together with Saviq's changes, there should be a
noticeable difference, though). However, as this is a larger change
we'll only land this after thorough testing after Easter.

In parallel we're further investigating other possible bottlenecks and
optimizations
