Honesty gets Emacs patch rejected

I’ve been working on Emacs performance on macOS for a couple of months - not continuously but for couple of months nonetheless. During that time I’ve been occupied with hooking up instrumentation and creating benchmarks. I also gave multiple LLMs the codebase and asked for it to search for specific things. Usually the results were poor. After analyzing patches, either the impact was minimal or the problem was misunderstood - something completely expected.
