My guess is that they are very complex rather than inefficient. But if you
think you can improve them please feel free to have a go and see if you
can speed them up. I can't promise a (material) reward though, other than
acknowledgment in the Introduction section --- many names already in there
should be familiar to people here as they are TeX hackers :)
I am referring not to my macros (which are all very simple) but to those
of Tiqwah, written by Yannis Haralambous, which is where most of the time
is spent during processing.
Kind regards
Tigran
