Via the lightning talks page: http://wiki.python.org/moin/EuroPy2006LightningTalks Here's a direct link: http://wiki.python.org/moin/EuroPy2006LightningTalks?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=%3AFasterThenAssemblerLightning.odp Of course, Harald's interpretation of the "faster than" qualification is broader than a pure assessment of raw performance, so I wouldn't expect too many technical revelations. And while footage exists of at least one talk in the CERN Auditorium which led to a Nobel prize, I don't think that any footage of the EuroPython lightning talks (or of any of the other talks) has been released just yet.
