I think we coul be more realistic here.
In my opinion the pains introduced by such a change does not match
with any possible gains. Many areas affect the request time badly
(IOs, mem, etc), I do not see case insensitivity as one, even if it
may look very bad if a simple small script is taken as example of the
slowdown (obviously worst case).
I am not saying discussing that is bad, but it may not be the most
important thing to spend time on :)
