Unfortunately it is as slow as a dog. I'm not sure I understand what the pressing need for a C interpreter that is slow is. If so, there are two of them out there, including cint. The fact is, there is absolutely no technological reason why a C interpreter has to much slower than compiled C. Even the most stupid, naive implementation you can come up with is still as fast as Python (I know because I tried this last year). And with a proper Jit, it is absolutely possible to make it almost the same speed as compiled C.
