I see! The thing is that I do text classification (so I have a huge 
amount of features) and I also have a large number of training examples, 
which seems to slow down the SVC implementation. On the other hand, the 
LinearSVC implementation works pretty fast.

I guess, it should not be a hard task to implement sample weighting for 
LinearSVC as well? I will take a look into it.
