It is like the "coding stuff in assembly language will make it faster" myth. The problem is that of manageable complexity. Making the stuff multithreaded or coded in assembly means that it becomes inaccessible for a sound algorithmic redesign. And anything that takes this long on today's machines has lots of room for algorithmic improvement, usually resulting in a speedup from one to several orders of magnitude. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
