I think the speed of Amiga LightWave will be basically the same as with 4.0.
This IS a major issue for us, but our options are limited. The compilers
available for the Amiga are very outdated and/or generate buggy code.

If you can entice someone to write a great new Amiga C compiler, we--and
countless, loyal, vocal Amiga users--would be most grateful.
