I agree that LambdaMOO is often bandwidth-bound, as it's usually
instantiated. However, Ben and I hoped that by doing those 200-400+%
speedups (and some memory reductions), new kinds of things could be
implemented in MOO. For instance, really heavy list and string processing
wasn't something you'd reasonably plan to do; if a project seemed to require
it, you'd replan or discard those ideas.
It's quite possible that the expressiveness of the MOO language (or dev
tools) is what's blocking now, instead of execution performance.
