One possibl approach would also to split the extension into two parts:
an unsafe one holding the low-level routines and a safe one for higher
level wrappers doing argument checks, etc. This may or may not apply
to your case (and the overhead may eat up any performance advantages),
but you might keep this in mind as an idea.
