May I put in a request for a native-code implementation of the ocamlbrowser 
tool. It is a great tool for browsing OCaml's many APIs but it gets very slow 
on big ones, like GLCaml.

Many thanks,

Actually, the problem is not the speed of ocaml code, but of Tk's text
widget. Ocamlbrowser uses lots of tags for text coloring, and this
slows the text widget. If somebody knows of a more efficient way to do
it...
Another approach would be to port ocamlbrowser to GTK, but I never
found the time to finish it.
