Just an update on the issue - it appears Spanish users took the template from Italians. Though on it.wikipedia it runs in ~1s, it runs 20s on Spanish, so obviously, just "taking teh template" didn't work that well.
Obviously, with the fantastically stupid^Wcreative things people are doing with templates, we need to write a Template Virtual Machine just for running templates. Or design a mask for a FPGA that will execute template code directly in the hardware.
Having actually used an FPGA, you don't need to design a mask; just a sound knowledge of VHDL (and by extension, Ada), a few bottles of turps, and a sledgehammer to pound your face against when the @#$% software decides that it understands a completely different subset of VHDL syntax to what you wrote your program in...
