Was following up on an earlier post, had read through the benchmark carefully and he's got disclaimers everywhere, plus this is -dev, where one would imagine folks have a better grasp on the gap between performance benchmarking and the real world, much less language qualities as a whole... I've learned my lesson, this can suck up a good number of hours... - August
