That's great. If that performance difference is a show stopper, one shouldn't go higher-level than C anyway :) (doesn't mean one should stop thinking about further speed-up, though) Out of curiosity, what kind of speed-up did your Friday fix bring to the searching/replacing functions? _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
