I haven't yet tested its speed, but Just claims it's just a bit slower.
However, in a choice between clarity and speed I almost always, scratch
that, always choose clarity. Then *if* I have performance problems I go
back and speed up where I can, as long as I don't compromise clarity beyond
some reasonable arbitrary limit. The struct module, however, falls a lot
beyond this limit, and if I had a choice I wouldn't even have used it at all.
