Oh, I know it'll all be needed.

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.
