Yes I could, but I cannot compile the code under msvc for comparison. I
only have MinGW. If build the mingw binary then someone else has to
build the msvc binary for comparison. Then we could do pybenches on the
same computer.

Uh .. I actually think it could be an EULA violation to publish mingw
vs. msvc benchmarks without permission from Microsoft. I don't want to
part of anything illegal or have M$ lawyers breathing down my back. If
we are going to do this, then we must do it properly and get the
permissions we need.
