I haven't benchmarked various code execution (which is a huge space), but `nim 
e` is quite a bit slower than Python for start-up time: 
    
    
    touch j.nims
    (repeat 10 utime nim e j.nims) |& min
    (repeat 10 utime py2 -c "") |& min
    (repeat 10 utime py3 -c "") |& min
    
    
    Run

yields 0.0989, 0.00544, 0.00817. So, start up time is 18x slower than py2 and 
12x slower than py3. Not sure how Nimscripter compares to nim e, and there is 
obviously much more to run time than start-up time. (Just ask the Julia people, 
LOL). { `utime` and `min` are my own programs. Writing your own is an exercise 
for any benchmarker. ;-) }
