Faster than *what* C, though? With Haskell, there's seldom a significant performance hit for using -fvia-C, so you would probably have been able to get comparable performance using C. The most common reason for Haskell to outperform C is due to lazy evaluation, i.e. the C code evaluates things which it doesn't actually need to. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
