Interesting 9 Lang. comparison, how would PB do?

Very interesting 9 Language performance review. Although not incredibly detailed, VB seems to do rather well. Made me wonder how PB would do.
If a few people got together and were able to re-code some of these tests in PB, might be able to get quite a bit of PR from OSNews....

Whoops, guess that was VB.net
Still pretty impressive for MS VBasic....

- 64-bit integer math
- 64-bit floating point math
- 64-bit floating point trigonometry

You cant do this 3 tests with PB, so only 2 tests are
possible: integer math, I/O functions

Not worth it, IMO.

You could do 64-bit math with inlineASM, but this way
you dont compare the PB compiler but ASM - its the same
if you use inlineASM in C and C++.

Not good PR if you go there and say "Here is the PB code,
but only 2 of 5 tests, because PB cant handle the other 3."

The guy should add results for the INTEL C/C++ Compiler, its the
best optimizer for Intel x86 CPUs (he tested on P-IV).

Agreed, sigh..found this one too:

i noticed python being outstanding in math and overall i wonder what makes it so diffrent...

I did run the trig benchmark with PureBasic and it was the same as Visual C++ 3.5 secs... I was just curious... But that was an expected result...
