small thoughts on performance engineering

[Eric Dean Tribble <tribble>]

Since the code must translate to X++ in fairly short order, it
shouldn't be any problem getting profiling information for X++ as well
as Smalltalk.  With just a few pointers from Gprof, we can do all the
optmization in Smalltalk.  Till then, Smalltalk profiling tools will
point to algorithmic inefficiencies.

Also note that optimizing in Smalltalk will accelerate our edit-debug
cycle.
