Having worked at Dixons for two weeks and two days, your view is
fairly accurate ;)

I didn't write HADFS specifically to be faster than ADFS, it just
seemed to end up as a result of the way I coded it. Looking around
some of the internals of the ADFS code it does seem to me to be
very oddly and inefficienly written in parts. Certainly, comparing
it with the cleanness and neatness of the NFS, Net and Econet
internals.
