As one of the authors of one of these libraries which are slow as a 
dying snail, I am wondering: How do you measure? Would you like to 
contribute your benchmark, so that our (quite extensive) optimization 
efforts can go your way? And finally, what is the ground speed of a 
dying snail?

My measurements (to contribute to the thread as well) are here:
