I never said that you had to change the format, what I pointed out is
that an interface change, encapsulation, will probably incur a copy
cost that you don't have today
The optimizations are in place such that there is no translations to
those two engines.
I'm not saying this is a bad idea, I am for the encapsulation, I am
just pointing out there there is more to this then just creating an
interface.
