We'll soon be replacing some core synthesis code, so we haven't run 
comprehensive benchmarks yet, but I do expect that the current version 
in git is slower than 0.1.3. We're generally still focusing on accuracy 
over speed, but plan to optimise heavily before release. On a side note, 
RAM usage has been reduced and writing to disk has been eliminated, and 
these should both stay that way.

I don't have a Wii, so I'm keen to work with you (or anyone else) if 
there do turn out to be performance regressions on the Wii once the new 
version's closer to being finalised.

Regards,
Jerome
