The conditions are unfair: the C++ version uses double, whereas the
Pharo version uses Integers. Change the C++ version to use int and then
report the results :-).

So I was bored and decided to test how fast pharo is compared to C++.
so I tested addition
C++ version:

int main()

double x=0;
while(x<1000000000)
{
x = x+1;
}
return 1;
}
time ./test1

Pharo version:

Pharo is +50% faster than C++ ... o_O ... that's suprising, I assume
here Pharo VM probably does some kind of optimisation.
