Well, than the C it was replacing, which is admittedly not much of a claim. Having said that, it's a claim I can't make about Python, which was why I brought it up in the first place. > With Haskell, there's seldom a significant performance hit for using > -fvia-C, so you would probably have been able to get comparable > performance using C. Probably eventually, but not without some fairly substantial work on a section of code that was already pretty fast. Geremy Condra -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
