You mean provide an ini setting to be able to turn it Off?
But why do you call it "always On" then?
And what's the difference comparing to what you've proposed earlier?
Concerning the stability issues, I'd say we have quite good chance
to make it stable enough, as (I hope) 5.3.0 is not going to be released
for at least several months more.
Companies that are especially concerned of performance/stability
are encouraged to step forward and give us a hand.
