I've made this benchmarking in some more languages (using d=d+1):

In my Pentium 4 2Ghz 256Mb SDRAM 7200rpm:

Java:               00m14,45s (d as long)
Java:               00m12,70s (d as double)
C:                  00m03,27s (d as long int)
C:                  00m15,90s (d as double)
Squeak Smalltalk:   01m48,60s
Ruby:               18m12,21s
Python:             14m04,83s


I couldn't understand why the C code could be slower than the Java one 
(is the same code, as java and C have similar sintaxes, the java one has 
the boilerpart and is it).

SmallTalk is 100% OOo, with a lot of message calls and is much faster 
for this task than Ruby or Python.
