I’m glad you liked the article. Obviously the 10 second or so of precompilation time is a big issue for you. I guess I have no further suggestions about that other than to suggest again to look at creating sysimages (learning how to do this is on my to-do list).

I was particularly "seduced" by the idea of using a standard ODE solver directly on quaternions. Having worked in the smoothing of 3D camera trajectories the last year, I would have definitely loved to know that at the time!
