This is very true, we need to make sure that any such optims won't prevent the project to build cleanly on all supported systems (unfortunately including windows with the VisualStudio compiler) without having the user to tweak compiler flags manually. Hopefully Cython might help us abstract that work away but this is left to be proven by practical experiments. -- Olivier http://twitter.com/ogrisel - http://github.com/ogrisel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
