Have you made some benchmarks like pystone?

Cheers, Cesare

Cesare, hi, thanks for responding: unfortunately, there's absolutely no point in making any benchmark figures under an emulated environment which does things like take 2 billion instruction cycles to start up a program named "c:/msys/bin/sh.exe", due to it inexplicably loading 200 GUI-only truetype fonts.

and to do benchmarks on say windows would require that i install ... windows! so if somebody else would like to make some benchmarks, and publish them, they are most welcome to do so.
