one seemingly overlooked aspect of the whole speed vs. devel. time
argument is that in order to actually *test* to see how strong your code
is, you need to compete with it. once you do so, you will immediately
see how cycles matter.
i only know this because i've done some testing of various go

about all the populat computer go algorithsm, do you have example of
reasonably performing algorithm with these properties?
