To be fair I've rewritten... er... "refactored" C++ code to
achive similar savings. At MCI I took over part of a project
processing phone records. Some changes to the C++ classes and
creative typecasting saved over 11MB (yes, Mega Bytes) of RAM and sped
up the code on the production system by about 100 times. 
It would have saved even more if they hadn't designed the system to
run at least 2 copies. I also eliminated several thousand lines of
redundant code that wouldn't need to be maintained anymore.
I'm not saying the MCI stuff was bad... just far from optimal.

But the point is... there's C and then there's good C. A bad C
program might not be faster than a good BASIC one.
