6814	Signals are slow.	Keith Bussell	Jeremy Dunck	"As per discussions with Jacob, the Signals library is unnecessarily heavy-weight. It's currently based on !PyDispatcher, which supports a superset of what's needed for Django.

== Design Decisions ==
 * Signals instances should declare what arguments are allowed to be sent
 * get rid of Any, Anonymous
 * get rid of robustApply. It slows down send() calls, and it breaks some implementations of Python

(work in progress. tired. will update this later.)"		closed	Core (Other)	dev		fixed	sprint signals performance	jdunck@… kbussell@… leo.soto@… till@… fijall@… holger@… anto.cuni@… pedronis@… gabor@… flosch@… Marinho Brandão Ivan Illarionov	Design decision needed	1	1	1	1	0	0
