I don't have a benchmark.. but I think the OO Richards Benchmark as
found here:
http://pws.prserv.net/dlissett//ben/bench1-ruby-28.htm
may be interesting.

Not that it is a valuable application... but I have this dumb example of
using backtracking to solve the map coloring problem as found here:
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/dorai/t-y-scheme/t-y-scheme-Z-H-16.html#node_sec_14.4.2

It stresses callcc a lot and takes ~15 seconds to terminate on my old
athlon 2000 box.
If you want take a look at it at:

(sorry for italian naming I guess it is still understandable :)
