+ <p>Characteristics impact:</p> <taglist>
+ <tag>Performance</tag> <item>The functions converting
+ from lists got a performance loss for very small lists,
+ and a performance gain for very large lists.</item>
+ <tag>Priority</tag> <item>Previously a process executing
+ one of these functions effectively got an unfair priority
+ boost. This priority boost depended on the input size.
+ The larger the input was, the larger the priority boost
+ got. This unfair priority boost is now lost. </item>
