That's why I use sciibin on our Snakestations :)  5.4 seconds isn't bad,
but how about less than a second? :)  (well, if nobody is hogging CPU, that
is.)

Seriously though, when writing a program from scratch you can very easily
avoid the 2.0 problems.  It's when you're porting a large utility that
all the fun bugs in codegen and the compiler itself come into play...
