Do you really want RS to devote the resources to rewriting what is likely to be several hundred thousand lines of idiomatic C++ into RB, rather than putting that effort into improving the compiler and making its existing output faster?

I don't think any of us are writing compilers in RB. We are more likely to benefit from efforts to improve compiler optimisation for the kinds of applications we ARE writing :-)
