Have you compared the performance of your library, Sean Chittendon's
previous library that also used the C back-end, and my pure-Ruby gem?

The disk I/O time dominates, so the difference in performance is almost
imperceptible (or at least, depends on other things like the availability
of physical memory, etc).

The pure Ruby version is much more convenient, of course. That's why I
wrote it to replace Sean's version... I don't think we needed still a
third version.
