That translated code is nowhere near as fast as hand coded C source.

In alot of cases yes, coders algorythm choice is very important
Im certain hand optimized C source is faster in most cases than Euphoria.

Thats been argued here, Euphoria hasnt been pushed to the limit...
With the ever increasing processor speeds, Euphoria running programs
in a year will be faster than ASM now. So any huge program 'if started now'
will be much better off in the future. It could be further argued that in a year
32 bit O/S's will be a thing of the past...Anyone have a crystal ball?
