What? I was talking about the amount of time it takes to DELIVER a product, 
not the amount of time it takes for that product to EXECUTE.

It is claimed by some that it is faster to CODE in Euphoria than C++, for 
the same result. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the speed of the 
executing program - just how fast it took to write the program.
