One question out of curiosity. In the parallel Mandelbrot benchmark on the language shootout page, languages like C, C++, Ada, Java 7 have 100% CPU utilization on all cores. Racket has 94% on all cores, whereas other languages values are sometimes much lower and differ from core to core.
What influences these values? Why does Racket achieve only 94% usage in a tight loop with futures? Don't get me wrong, 94% is close enough and Racket generally fares very well in the shootout. I'm just wondering where the 94 comes from. Do these numbers converge to 100% when the benchmark is run longer?
