I do not know. I did not say that I think that they are not able to write efficient routines but simply that I am not sure about it. I do not think that it is an easy problem to write something close to the most efficient routines. It is possible that all the programs including Junior can be 10 times faster if the programmers knew to write the most efficient routines. Uri
