Subject: NeWS speed

A friend of mine said that AI group at MIT is never going to be running
NeWS on many workstations. One of the reasons he gave was that X will
always be at least a factor of 3 faster than NeWS.

I started thinking about all of the atoi() that news always has to do,
and the fact that it is interperted, and am beginning to think that he
might be right. Is there any truth to this?
