I wish the AE team would take a good look at this and realize the importance of small changes making huge differences. (ok semi-small, as the article mentions the memory allocator they switched to doubled size of codebase during development…)

How about instead of “Brainstorm”, maybe next time we can shoot for After Effects to have some more render stack optimizations.
