IIRC it was already mentioned here: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ - the Computer Language Shootout.
It would be quite interesting to have Parrot figures too and see benchmark timings decrease steadily ;-)
I've someone wants to take over that part: - configure => perl Configure.pl --optimize - make && make install ought to be ok to /usr/local ...So we'd just need the benchmark code translated to PIR. I've here harmonic.pir and ack.pir (the latter sucks badly)
