Don't have Blackdown installed but here are some timing and profiling
results (linux/x86, compiled with -pg, 'gprof test_prog' output,
remembering the caveat of profiling always skewing the measurements):
ugli:/tmp/jhi/parrot ; time ./test_prog j.pbc
r 119,14s u 119,14s s 0,00s 100% "./test_prog j.pbc"
ugli:/tmp/jhi/parrot ;
Flat profile:
Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.
