+ABOUT ALGORITHMS:
+The Locfit implementation has been designed largely from the point
+of view of generality: to provide a set of functions that can be
+used for as wide a range of local fitting problems as possible.
+It is not intended to be the fastest or most efficient implementation
+possible. In addition to generality, the code in many places makes
+extensive trade-offs made between speed and numerical accuracy (some
+of which can be controlled through optional arguments). Many of Locfit's
+options will only be used in a small fraction of cases; for other cases,
+they add to the cost of overhead (an obvious example is multi-dimensional
+fitting: when used in 1-d, many loops reduce to for(i=0;i<1;i++)).
+Additionally, the user interfaces (i.e. the R and S-Plus code) add
+significantly to the computational overhead. For these reasons, the
+Locfit code, as distributed, should not, and can not, be used to
+derive meaningful benchmarks, either for the speed or accuracy of algorithms.
+Anyone wishing to use Locfit in any kind of comparative benchmark
+study must contact and obtain permission from the Author.
