Oh, I know it'll all be needed.  I'm just concentrated on not regressing
anything right now.

Yeah, I can do that, but like I said, all my attempts to write the same
functionality in Python proved to be miserably slow.  Now, perhaps once a
JIT is thrown into the mix, the speed will improve noticeably.  It's worth
trying.  I'll send you the best of the others, and ask if you could do some
test runs.

Thanks,
