Maybe it is not slow for its > purposes, but it ain't fast either, sure is > my impression. I have read pretty much all this thread and as Tomas said it quite well, there is more than speed. Speaking for myself, speed is not of any concern here. It is fast enough for everything. Other aspects are of much priority for me: hackability is one of them, accessibility, portability, stability, etc. What would you do with more speed that you do not do today ? -- Xavier Maillard e/j:xavier@maillard.im w:www.maillard.im m: 06 49 60 48 56 GPG: 9983 DCA1 1FAC 8DA7 653A F9AA BA49 09B7 8F04 DE1B
