There was a problem hiding this comment.
That reads a bit biased. The downside is that you'd loose fast ID lookups, that should be mentioned instead.

did some rewording. you can chage it to your heart's content after your merge it as well, this is a fairly simple patch. |

Hmm, did you actually test if this has an impact? The code says that it shouldn't. |

Well I'm trying to troubleshoot a memory leak myself and having close_ids=false in my daemon with this patch doesn't seem to have an impact. |

It's said to lower the memory footprint of the parser at the expense of increased CPU load. Some use cases might care more about the amount memory consumed than CPU time, so it might make sense to expose this parameter.
