The mention of python in this is somewhat foolish from a performance standpoint. It's not that python is slowing them down or speeding things up...they ultimately are hooking into a pile of C code to get "c-comparable" performance. If you're going to be using numpy or gmpy, don't bother comparing your python code to C, its meaningless... That all said, that's mostly irrelevant! The algorithm is new, kinda neat, and efficient, which is what matters.
