I think it'd be handy.  Don't know exactly how to do it, but I would Guess
you could call C functions to do the work more efficiently.  (Again, exactly
WHAT C functions, I'm not sure.  May be able to do same through CGI-calls?)
Generally speaking, there's (at least) two ways as I understand it, which is
via REST (GET-POST) and via XML-RPC (parametered-call to a socket service).
