    in such cases the solution is to elaborate, and not to
    leave things to decay.

    i was sarcastic here. actually the fact is that
    4MB of tarred sources is more than 10 .c files
    doing the same thing 1.5x times faster.

    it is not an excuse to make things even worser.

    actually i meant that "i hardly can believe that
    c in such task is harder to maintain than python".
