anybody here knows other way to parse float other than read-from-string or atof using alien? my project involves reading thousands of floats from the output of about hundred thousand spice simulations. read-from-string is obviously too slow, while alien-ing atof gc's a lot. parse-float doesn't parse string floats, ffi i don't know how to, and modifying ngspice to give something that can be done by parse-float is definitely the last on my list.
thanks jon
