A very basic newbeish question..

 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/parrot$ tools/dev/parrotbench.pl -regex oo -conf
../parrotbench.conf
      parrot  perl    python  ruby
oo1     100%    39%     23%     -
oo2     100%    40%     22%     -
       

Are bigger numbers more desirable (as they would be if they mean number of
times code run per second) or lower numbers are more desirable (as they
would be if they mean time taken per run)? So what do these numbers mean?
 

All numbers are relative to the first one, lower is better.

The -t switch explains it:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/parrot$ tools/dev/parrotbench.pl -b oo -t
        parrot(pasm)    parrot(imc)     python(py)      perl(pl)
oo1     3.030s  -       0.690s  1.200s
oo2     15.020s -       3.310s  6.020s
Yes, parrot looks not so good at the moment, maybe Dan will get his 
cream pie at OSCON. :)
