I've heard *so* many times someone say XYZ language is/can be faster than C,
but yet it still makes me laugh. :-)

Anyway, Bill's comments actually make me a little sad that Linux is all too
often playing catch up (especially when it comes to hardware support) and
not being able to spend more time implementing and adopting innovations.
I mean, there obviously is a lot of progress being made, but imagine where
we could be if we didn't have to spend so much time reverse engineering our
hardware, and MS protocols, etc.
