<p>The directional helpers and pen analysis are more or less translated from the
<l n='c'/> code. It really helps that Taco know that source so well. Taco and I spent
quite some time on speeding up the <l n='lua'/> and <l n='c'/> code. There is not
much to gain, especially if one keeps in mind that when integrated in <l n='tex'/>
only a part of the time is spent in <l n='metapost'/>. Of course an integrated
approach is way faster than an external <l n='metapost'/> and processing time
nears zero.</p>
