A number of benchmarks are not applicable to us, or they are
uninteresting at this point (e.g. pickling, regexp, or just
microbenchmarks...).

That would leave 2 usable benchmarks, at a first glance: 'ai', and
possibly 'spitfire/slowspitfire'.

(Btw, I wonder why they think that richards is "too artificial" when
they include a number of microbenchmarks that look far more artificial
to me...)


A bientot,

Armin.
