Comment 12 for bug 583124

Thanks a lot Henning.

The speed is a little concerning to me, since it's more than twice as slow in a procedure which is already very slow nowadays. Since the visible benefits of the switch are pretty low, it still makes me wonder about the switch over.

Nevertheless, I'll look at your implementation and see if there's anything I could to do speed it up, since it'd be nice to be pure Python there.

Oh, and can you please sign the Canonical contributor agreement before that, so that I can actually integrate the changes if there's a way to? The details are at:

Thanks a again, Henning.
