Performance
When you know your code is correct and you don't get any of the diagnostics boxes popping up under Windows or stderr dumps on unices, you may be able to get up to twice the performance of your existing code by turning off the internal diagnostic checks.
To turn of diagnostics, edit the src/muse_config.h file, set the MUSE_DIAGNOSTICS_LEVEL to 0 and recompile muSE.
If performance with diagnostics on is acceptable, you should consider leaving the checks in place.
