So, Hannes may have been referring to optimizing the slow parts of the process in Native Boost directly instead of using an external library (if not, may I suggest it?). It is possible that just a few tweaks using Assembler in the process would get the speed up to an acceptable level, which would be determined by profiling the performance. Of course, that path requires someone on your project that can understand Assembler to get familiar with NativeBoost. -cbc
