In python: max (map (max, args)) should have reasonable
performances and is *much* more elegant...
I very much doubt that.
What do you doubt? That it has reasonable performance or that it is
more elegant?
That it has reasonable performance. Then, there are a number of things
that can't be compared such as figuring out the tightest static types,
something that Python doesn't worry about (at the expense of precision
and performance).
Please define "reasonable performance"...
Within 15% of hand-optimized code specialized for the types at hand.
