Not really.  I was mostly just making a joke about FasterCSV's name  
and how it was born.

I do think it's possible to get better performance than REXML offers  
without resorting to C, though C would be faster still, naturally.  I  
do have some ideas about this, but I haven't actually spent the time  
to see if I could get a prototype running to prove them.
