examples/benchmarks/* has a bunch of programs e.g. oo1.pasm oo1.pl oo1.py stress.pasm stress.pl ...
Now like perlbench is able to compare run times of different perl versions, the goal of this task is to provide a script that compares different interpreters and finally spits out:
Parrot-j Parrot-C Perl Python Ruby oo1 100% 103% 75% 50% - mops 100% 200% 40000% stress ... - -
or some such.
To simplify the task, we could of course move used tests into a separate directory. Unavailable interpreters (or missing scripts for that language) are just skipped.
Any takers?
