Since Smalltalk has only very few binary implemented functions i think
we should set the benchmark at something like the REXML parser which
does a lot of pure ruby processing.

And yes i think for tasks like this it is possible to get 30x faster,
but i think it might even be possible for YARV to get 20x faster.
