It is worth looking at the end user magazines: the users are getting
increasingly annoyed about code bloat and sloth. They aren't buying
ever faster processors and larger disks with the intention of making
life easy for the programmers, you know! In a pure research
environment this may not matter that much if you are writing code
for your own use, but some of us do have to think in terms of selling
what we write in Poplog.
