Barbarella
  I think you will find that you will have a hard time
  improving the speed of euphoria. If you purchase the source
  code you will find that Rob has hand coded the code to
  obtain the max speed that can be got out of the interpreter
  Any add on will not speed up the code because the overhead
  of the add on will and interfacing will deteriate the any
  speed gain. The only way to increase the speed would be
  to rewrite the complete interpeter into a native compiler
  and this may not gain you that much speed.
  What Euphoria really needs is a better way of interfacing
  to assembler or one of the higher level langauges so
  that it can be easily extended without having rewrite
  the interpeter code.

  PS:
   Allot of people on the list will never see your attachments
  unless you use 64 bit text encoding or plain text or post them to
  the archive.
