yeap, increadibly!

yes but only removing comments is enougth

an other thing:

usually i write my eiffel programs like in nsievebits:

http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php?test=nsievebits&lang=se=
&id=0&sort=fullcpu

but quickly i use the command 'pretty' that reformat my code, that is what is 
done with spectral norm:

http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php?test=spectralnorm&lang==
se&id=0&sort=fullcpu

that is to say that i dont control the LOC because i use a formatting tool 
that improve the readability by enforcing style rules that are shared by many 
users.
