Greetings all, I just posted a little Parrot benchmark in my use.perl's journal that i think it would be interesting for everyone to take a look. From my point of view Parrot finished in a very comfortable place between compiled and interpreted languages. I've made the benchmarking very easy to run, so do let me know if you want me to run it against any patch or maybe a specific Parrot version.
