Now I see 3 choices:
- take the full C implementation, because it's much faster (at least 3.4x faster!) - reject the whole PEP 471 (not nice), because it adds too much code for a minor speedup (not true on Windows: up to 44x faster!) - take the C+Python implementation, because maintenance matters more than performances (only 1.3x faster, sorry) => IMO the best option is to take the C implementation. What do you think?
