#- More generally, _who cares_ about this kind of speedups?!  Premature
#- optimization is the root of all evil in programming.  Make 
#- your programs
#- clear, simple, readable -- that's ALWAYS important!  So is 
#- using general
#- algorithms and data structures with good O() characteristics if the
#- input size is liable to grow a lot.  But squeezing out 10% 
#- or 20% here
#- or there is going to matter in a TINY minority of cases.  
#- Don't distort
#- your coding for such purposes!

"It is easier to optimize correct code than to correct optimized code."
