I'm a n00b, but isn't the point of this language to be *faster* than Java?... at least on a multiprocessor machine.
Shouldn't the number of processors on the test machine make a big difference to how fast it runs? Whereas, the Java version is only dependent on the clock rate of the individual processors. What happens if we run this benchmark on a nice 4 core core machine?
