I would set offset parameters for all four margins before rule values
but will us Hans ever grant this wish, it's been on the list from a lot
of us for years.
indeed, but only because it has a speed penalty; maybe some day in mkiv

If you won't change the MkII version I can live with this but what speaks
against a modification of the MkIV version. Don't say performance, MkIV is
in many parts slower than MkII (e.g. buffers) but people who use don't care
about this.
And here are the times for MkIV.
Original core-rul:
mkiv lua stats : runtime                   - 20.242 seconds, 1250
processed pages, 1250 shipped pages, 61.753 pages/second
Modified core-rul:
mkiv lua stats : runtime                   - 22.108 seconds, 1250
processed pages, 1250 shipped pages, 56.541 pages/second
how did your test file + core-rul patch look (keep in mind that in 
official mkiv we use a different core-rul)
