Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gnuradio-companion development

[Albin Stigö]

Ok, great to know there are some other mac users... I have
reimplemented some blocks using Apples Accelerate framework..
theoretically they should perform better on apple hardware although I
havn't done any benchmarks. I will try to release those...

Also knowing there are other mac users will definitely provide some
motivation :-)
