In case you haven't been keeping up with this mailer, Performer is written
in C++, SGI just put a C API on top of it, probably to satisfy the masses.

For us that have encapsulated the C binding into an C++ application
framework
with supporting classes, we will have to see what advantages there will be
to SGI's new binding. If SGI is willing to let us take a sneek peek at the
C++ design
we could be preparing our toolkits for the release. How about it, SGI?

The C++ API with 2.0 is one more step in that direction.

I hope that the guiding rule has been `performance over
extensibility/friendliness'.
