25996	Revise the Performance section in topics/http/urls	Tzu-ping Chung	Ralph Reid	"The section, written back in the 0.9 days during 2005, goes:

> Each regular expression in a `urlpatterns` is compiled the first time it’s accessed. This makes the system blazingly fast.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#performance

While the first part of the sentence is true, it does not serve as a reason why the dispatcher is blazingly fast. And the general public perception these days is almost the opposite: Django’s URL dispatcher is thought to be between “not fast” and “slow”, depending on what standard you compare it against.

While I am happy with Django’s URL dispatcher, and certainly don’t have anything to complain, it might be a good idea to remove the ten-year-old statement that is not valid anymore."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	dev	Normal	fixed		pramodpsb@… Marten Kenbeek	Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
