            Hey guys, just to be clear.

            Before we fixed page move in 5.8.18/5.9 moving couple hundred pages would tae few hours/overnight and could easy bring large instances down.

            It was fixed and seeing description "spinning wheel going for a long time (approx. 15-50 seconds)" is actually quite fast.

            Three weeks of eng effort was spent to achieve that.

            If you want to push page move performance event further you must have buy-in from PMs.

            I can't possibly current behaviour as a bug.

            For customers who want to move 10K pages - they could move subtrees. It's acceptable workaround.
