I spoke to Mike about updating the editor in the ORCA shell and he said
that if it was done in C it would be slower than it is now. Now, that's
not much for optimization is it? C programs CAN approach the speed of
assembly, providing the resulting code is efficient. Even the print
routines in ORCA/C are slow...

P.S. #pragma optimize -1 is in all my programs.
