Why no progress in the Directx plugin?

Not trying to enter the heat of the argument, but when I use the OpenGL plugin - using extremely high settings (it's mostly the vsync that kills it) makes the game pretty choppy. Using Dolphin R3626 x64 + the latest working version of the x64 DirectX9 plugin with those high settings however, make games work the way they're supposed to (in my opinion). When I say "high settings", I'm talking about maxing out every single option, fullscreen at the highest resolution with vsync enabled.

Of course it's still the same old plugin, so some graphical improvements are missing since the last revisions. But for the games that have been fair on the graphical side of Dolphin for a long time, the DX9 plugin gives me a nice performance boost that wasn't there in a while. Here's a quick run down of my current specs (it's bed time over here so I'm just keeping it brief):

Windows 7 x64
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX (overclocked to 780/2000/1200 - 190.38)
4GB RAM
C2D Wolfdale 8400 3.00GHZ (overclocked to 3.80GHZ)

If someone has the time to restore the DirectX plugin, I say go for it.

EDIT: By me saying "performance" boost, I'm talking about the speed of the game when using a higher setting. If you wanted to use Dolphin using high quality graphic settings with vsync in fullscreen while still getting near perfect speed, then the old DirectX plugin would be your best bet. If you like window mode gaming, the current OpenGL plugin's very decent enough with that.
