Another thing Andrea and I did today was to identify that our current approach to handling keywords (to allow for "keywords as identifier") caused quite major performance problems. So we have started to rewrite how keywords and "keywords as identifier" work. We have consistently seen an improvement over the SQM test suite dropping from 3+ seconds to sub 1 second.
