Just to be clear, I did not run 'polynom.gambas' as a script with the she-bang specifying to use 'gbs3' to execute it. That *is* slow.
I executed it using gbs3 with the '-f' option invoking the JustInTime compiler. I also just now used the IDE to create a command-line application based on the benchmark, created an executable, and then ran that. That was also so slow (almost 2 minutes to Print the first result) that I did not let the timing test finish. So, it appears that the JIT compiler option is what makes the huge difference -- on my system anyway.
