I compile common tex 2.9 using "gcc -O". That is 40% faster and
20% smaller than the PASCAL version of tex. I didn't try it on
the WEB2C version. But I think the result would be similar.
Another advantages of using common TeX 2.9 is that they have a
BIG and BIGG version. BIGG version has a memory size about five
times of TeX.
