Yes, I think I understand your position. > - While I do know a lot about writing efficient C and C++ code, I know > basically nothing about what python code is efficient.

Yes, I do understand what you say, this is why I deliberately make my statements sound more on the suggestive than strongly affirmative side. I do not of course hold authority in the questions of efficiency; I'm just stating my opinion publicly, with the hope to collect sufficient considerations in this regard.
