To List: Concerning remarks on performance, when there is a wish expressed for a faster version of this or that, it would be helpful to have some specific timings (for program P and hardware H). Perhaps someone could propose a program which can be used as a 'standard' benchmark to provide explicit timings.
(Back in the sixties/seventies the Sieve of Eratosthenes was popular-- mainly to compare compiler performance, P's running performance, and hardware performance in the languages then of interest . . . C, Fortran, Pascal . . . and H was usually a ThinkPad or Macintosh. But it would be of interest now to see runtime comparisons for RB vs VB and OS X vs Wintel and . . .)
