Hi Andre,

I just looked up this change (see below), it was introduced in 1.4. I
remember when many observable notifications were sent to calibration
helpers, they could cause a high CPU usage due to many (unnecessary)
black price computations that were done directly in the update()
method before. That's the background.

Would it be possible for you to post the complete code of your
calibration helper implementation, then we can see how to adapt it to
the new base class ?

Regards
Peter

Precedes:   QuantLib-v1.3 (76) Inherited CalibrationHelper from
LazyObject (thanks to Peter Caspers).
