For example, threadring measures context switching.
thread-ring has aged badly. It was added when the measurements
were only made on single-core hardware, and Erlang's huge
number of lightweight processes seemed interesting ;-)
It's been many years since the thread-ring measurements were
included in the summary charts.
It is interesting that Erlang and others are considered
"preemptive" threads. Afaik the Erlang runtime does not interrupt
processes.
The pidigits programs basically measures libGMP performance.
And arbitrary precision arithmetic without libGMP :-)
In this comparison it is actually interesting, because D has its
own bignum implementation in the standard library. It holds well
against libGMP.
