I actually said automatic multiplication was a good thing.  I was insulting the z80

For now, I didn't spend time debugging and fixing TILP for sending OS 3.0 - but as we watch the stories of huge problems with OS 3.0 unfold, I don't think that it's much of a problem that TILP will refuse to send that crap :)


Coming back to the earlier posts of the topic: Python is actually not too fast ;)
The VM is fairly heavyweight, and (due to a combination of the VM's performance, and the way user code is written) performance of a number of Python programs, e.g. various Linux distro package managers, is known to be lackluster. I remember about some operations of one of the package managers being more than an order of magnitude faster in C++ than in Python...
