I like the proposed idea of writing one or two core, high-load

don't much enjoy looking at C code, though, I might just ask someone
else to write the C, so I guess *I* in particular might not implement
any of it in C. Eh.
We actually do this. The diff engine exists as a PHP plugin written in C
(or C++, which is nearly the same).
. . . aside from the fact that it often exhibits an at least arithmetic
increase in execution time as compared with straight C.
Sorry, minor, largely pointless quibble. There's a bit of a language
execution time debate going on somewhere else that has absorbed me
recently. The subject is sorta stuck in my head at the moment.
