They actually did try to optimize it a bit in v5.6.1, but the person that found the exploit was on the older unoptimized version v5.6.0.

it is actually how the exploit was found

The XZ exploit was found because some dude was investigating performance issues in a system, and noticed an unusual amount of time being spent in SSH processing, IIRC.

any inside joke about colour inverted image?

It's like the evil [character] meme where an image of them was inverted, along with a caption of something that's the opposite of what they'd say. So, here dystopia is basically depicted as "evil utopia"

Can we joke about log4shell? Maybe heartbleed?
