Yes, but if you want the optional C speedups, you need to make sure
and include the compiled extension (.so file on Linux, .pyd file
on Win32) *and* you need to make sure that the ExtensionClass
extension is somewhere in the path.

The C speedups are provided by a C mix-in class that implements
key computations in C.

This is essentially correct. Note that to use the C extensions,
you also need ExtensionClass on which they are based.

Also, the Zope BoboPOS has an additional module, TJar that implements
long-running transactions, which are the basis of Zope sessions.
(Don't look too closely at this. It, like the rest of BoboPOS 2,
is pretty crufty. Look for a major cleanup in Z Object Database,
formally known as BoboPOS3. :)
