I think the point that Mike Meyer was trying to make got lost in Paul's
response.  MANX should be spending it's time getting the output generated
to be a faithfull translation of the input source, and only then spend time
on performance.  We can all hack a slightly slower program much easier than
one that compiles and blows up.  And no, I don't think Lattice is a perfect
compiler either.  But I use it, despite it's speed problems, because it
appears that it's track record on producing good output is much better.
