Why not open an issue with references on how to improve it? It's open source. You could even go ahead and submit a PR with your improvements.

I could indeed and thank you for the suggestion. However I'd need to be motivated enough to spend time submitting tickets (good tickets!) to a project I'm not currently invested in. Which I am not. I guess the point of submission is to draw attention to the library and garner community comments. I feel I've made my contribution to that discussion.

  > I feel I've made my contribution to that discussion. Well, I didn't like the tone of your comment. People building such an engine obviously aren't incompetent, just because one part of the code you looked at wasn't as optimized as possible.

    And writing a comment here instead of in an issue where the developers might hear of it is not a smart move either :) He should definitely have done it elsewhere.

  This was pretty much my experience with getting a project posted in HN. A bunch of bugs reported in the HN comments, and not a single issue opened on GitHub. Since I wasn't the one who posted it, the only reason I found the bug reports is because a friend recognized my username on GitHub, and sent me a message about it. I would have preferred bad tickets to total silence...

    The real takeaway here is that the barrier to reporting bugs for your project is too high.

      GitHub has made reporting bugs extremely easy. It's sheer laziness that most don't bother.

        Replace file a bug on GitHub with sign in using Facebook Connect. Is the amount of effort it takes really the only conceivable reason someone could have for opting out? (And regardless, threshold of effort isn't even a bad reason for not doing something.)
