I like to build my own tight and optimized routine, some are self expanding, meaning that if some feature aren't used, this will not INCLUDE the un-necessary code. PBP do it as well... in it's own way. There's place for optimization so far.
Yeah a C compiler might easily give PBP a run for its money and win the race - but from what I"ve read, other flavors of BASIC just don't stand up to PBP.
