Yes certainly a routine written in C can be expected to be faster. However, people use a language devoid of pointers to avoid debugging dangling pointers and memory leaks. I sure hope there are none of the former. I would rather have memory leaks 99.9% of the time than dangling pointers 0.1% of the time!
OK. I'm not sure what this all has to do with the topic at hand. I doubt you'd really want to have so many memory leaks.

We should keep the 4.0 branch (bug fix only) going long after 4.1 is released in light of all of these bugs.
Of course, anyone can work on that if they want (hey, people are still hacking on the 3.1 stuff!). Personally, I'm not planning on doing anything in 4.0 once 4.1 is out.
