Do you mean this? http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shootout/ Benchmarks tend to be bogus anyway. At OLS, we were able to get a wrapping FS implemented in FUSE on top of EXT3 to benchmark faster than native EXT3. We figured that we could, at that point, just stack the layers until we get ESPFS. > Anyone has experience with OCaml and would like to share with us > some of it? I'm writing a GTK extension of LDSDPS in OCaml. Look under src_ocaml/ of what I've got in CVS. It's compiled to native code, but it's not autoconf-friendly yet (read: you'll have to struggle with libraries for now). I'm not using any out-there features of the language (like parametric types, functors, polymorphic methods, or friend functions), so it should not be too difficult to figure out.
