Hi Karl and all,

The relative slowness of high-level languages against C is a known thing 
beyond Emacs.

Sure, any new C-replacement needs to be checked and also benchmarked. 
But thats not an action to start with.
BTW does anyone still need benchmarks to learn about slowness of 
propertize and fontification stuff?
The whole display-engine IMO is a hot candidate for a thoroughly 
re-consideration.

Cheers,

Andreas
