Hrrumph!
It's amazing that the _Journal_ still exists at all! It's (original)
philosophy is the complete antithesis of current industry practise.

Used to be, if you could write small, fast code, not only were you
good, you survived!

Nowadays, its "A couple of meg here, a couple of meg there,
pretty soon we're talking about real memory usage".
