Yes, of course! The C++ code is really not great. Even the Fortran code could easily be optimized a bit more. However, I think they are representative of many C++ and Fortran codes written by scientists.

I do not plan to submit that very soon. However, I plan to contact the editors very soon.

My point of view is the following: I don't think it would be honest to include in a paper the point using map-improvements before this branch is merged so I would rather wait for it...

Yes, I can really help on such blog post! But I'm definitively not the right guy to explain the principle of map-improvements! Also, for me, the possible comment in Nature Astronomy has a higher priority.
