This is a major goal of Desert Spring-Time. Whilst using bytecode, it will probably not be very performant (ocamljit will help a small amount here I think) compared to say a native code version. However, the goals are: reliability, safety, and not so important: portability. I think processors are more than fast enough these days to accomodate a slower running kernel environment .. in fact, the mpeg2 decoder project should help prove/disprove this theory. Jonathan
