  I dunno...I enjoy that sort of work...it's a challenge, and really
hones one's programming skills.  Especially doing things like breaking
up loops so that they fit into a particular machine's cache lines, TLB
overflow optimization by reordering memory references, and stuff like
that.  Try to do THAT in perl. ;)
