New Revision: 44793

Added:
   pypy/extradoc/talk/ep2007/pypy_10_and_jit/ui   (contents, props changed)
Modified:
   pypy/extradoc/talk/ep2007/pypy_10_and_jit/talk.txt
Log:
Reorder a few slides; add a bit of content.
The intro is still light but getting better IMHO.

 From Dec 2004 to March 2006 PyPy was a research project,
 funded by the EU and a consortium of companies.
 
+Motivation
+=============
+
+Conventional approaches to interpreters face hard trade-offs:
+speed, maintainability, flexibility.
+
+A lot of decisions are hard-coded pervasively, improvements
+and evolution are hampered (e.g. psyco, stackless require quite some efforts
+and cannot bring their full potential).
+
+Lots of duplication of effort to cover many platforms (C, Java, .NET).
