Good point; maybe I really should make that list.

This really *was* the fastest in the notebook, modulo the fact that I
had to first create and evaluate the Cython cell, which negated the
advantage for my purposes. Neat, though - maybe now I can convince
all those CS students who keep telling me that without a "real"
language you might as well not program for speed. But please don't
reopen that topic...
Thanks for all contributions - very informative.
