	About six months ago (?) there was a discussion in this newsgroup,
	initiated by Burton Leathers of Cognos, concerning Cognos's
	rather negative experiences with Eiffel, particularly in relation
	to performance of big Eiffel systems. Betrand Meyer posted a reply
	which stated that in version 2.2 the post-processor was sufficient
	to deal with the performance defects.
	
	Burton Leathers raised the Eiffel performance issue again in his
	position paper at this year's ECOOP/OOPSLA conference. Does this
	refer to pre-2.2 days or does the current Eiffel implementation
	still have serious performance defects that have yet to be recified ?
