- I have only been using the "Demo" version available by ftp from sumex-aim,
- but I find it VERY good for compiling functions, especially ones that do
- any sort of mathematical manipulation. For these, the speed-up is VERY
- noticeable (Ireduced run-time on one series of calculations from ~45 seconds
- to 4.5 seconds. For accessing fields, etc., it is not that much faster,
- in my experience. I would love to try the full version, but don't have
- the $$ for it yet.

- Your mileage may vary.
