Stefan Krah added the comment:

I think string conversion should be part of this benchmark, or it should be 
renamed to fraction-arith or something.

The formatting function can be a significant bottleneck, and if you use 
Fractions for financial calculations the result will still need to be printed 
in decimal floating point form.


That said, is the purpose of this benchmark to show that fractions are slow and 
generate interest in changing the situation?
