This depends on what language you are using Tim. For example if you
are using Self the compiler optimisations on method calls drastically 
speed up code. Likewise if using Sisal the compiler optimisations on
array allocation drastically speed up code. If using a functional
language deforestation optimisations speed up code. It very much
depends on the language you are using.
