  The speed of C really depends on the compiler.  On the Mac, all the 
routines are in ROM anyway, so ASSEMBLER CAUSES NO SPEED INCREASE.
  I can see a slew of uninformed opinions sprining up, so I should point
out that any compiled language becomes assembler anyway, and the only thing
that gets faster are device-access routines - which, as I said, are in ROM
on the Mac; thus it's FASTER to use C.
  (Apologies to anyone I've offended).


  Last night I decided to try to write an emulator for the Mac, and I'm 
halfway done already.  Stay tuned.
