+	A number of optimizations in the runtime made the compiler
+	twice as fast this week:
+
+	Early this week Patrik started the string
+	rewrite in the runtime.  Today Dietmar finished the
+	constructors and deployed the new layout. 
+
+	Paolo got the JIT engine to generate profiles, which were in
+	turn used to find hot spots in Reflection, which he improved.
+
+	Dan (of Regex fame) noticed the performance issues with our
+	current array layout, and contributed a new array
+	representation.
+
+	At the same time Dietmar started the the JIT inline code and
+	implemented constant propagation.  These two optimizations
+	together are very powerful.

+
+	Dietmar's inlining for the JIT engine just landed into
+	CVS. This is only a first cut and more improvements will come later.
+
+	Patrik, Paolo, Dietmar and Gonzalo have been busy optimizing
+	our class libraries and runtime engine to become faster. Many changes
+	on CVS as well.
