I'd be happier if Mr Tew didn't try to lend legitimacy to the alioth
shootout. Microbenchmarks don't show anything useful, even if they're
run correctly -- which the shootout has never been run correctly. It
isn't even administered correctly. (I was similarly annoyed that Joel
Spolsky used it in his latest slam on Ruby. Stupid, Joel, stupid.)
