Ah! The tags need to be in an ADL-blocking namespace. That should be an
easy fix. Can you file a bug? I'm currently on a week-long vacation with
my family.

It sounds like you're not actually using Proto for that much. Which
leaves me puzzled because I can't figure where the perf problems would
be coming from. Disclaimer: I haven't actually looked at the code,
because I'm on vacation.

I can't get to this this week. If one of the other proto users wanted to
take a crack at this, it would be much appreciated.
