one question to balduro and others (about hard fork and the network difficulty)

what's the difficulty going to be after the hard fork at block 5400? is it going to be reset somehow and will be slowly rising (because of KGW), or will it continue with the difficulty -+ of block 5399? i'm just asking because of the constant "locks" of the network at some blocks, and that, if the diff is going to be lets say 4000 at block 5399 and the fork happens, it will not help much to speed up the network and transactions.. in my opinion.. and yes i know, the block time is going to be half the time it is now, but still...

thanks for the answer (hope i'm not asking a question, that was already answered somewhere in this thread)
