Have to say I disagree. The original implementation is tried and tested and more importantly, mathematically proven to do what it's supposed to do given the correct input. It's a foul and miserable task which I loathed doing at uni, and I imagine the cost of rebuilding it from scratch in C++ or similar will be far more excessive than keeping on a couple of experienced developers to troubleshoot problems (even if they can command ££££££££.)
