A) Lingo (DMX)
ms0 = the milliseconds
repeat with i = 1 to 100000000
  j=1
end repeat
ms1 = the milliseconds
put (ms1-ms0)

-- 26917

B) VC++ 6.0, console app
...
 _ftime( &tstruct0 );
 for (i=0; i<100000000; i++) j=1;
 _ftime( &tstruct1 );
...

--> 240 (milliseconds)


So a ratio of about 100:1 on my computer.
