This would be for performance issue though. And K, even when interpreted, is still faster than most people's C code because the interpreter does very little and most of the time is spent in optimized loops.

Also, I heard rumors of a JIT (I've seen some of his compilation code and it is pretty amazing and small and even include SSE/AVX optimizations).

I would expect K in particular to benefit immensely from SIMD instructions, yes?

I think they were added about 5 years ago?
