1. RE: Sequence Multiplication
Interesting. I don't see how it could be any faster than the
simple multiplication. You're setting up a temp variable for
a loop, doing 3 array subscripts per element, and accessing
length (seq_a). Not to mention just the extra statements for
the interpreter to read and interpret....
But even if it was the same speed (or marginally faster),
would it really be worth the increase in code complexity?
