[Tinycc-devel] performances test

[bertie]

Hi,
Here's a benchmarking of several compiled/pre-compiled/interpreted languages, 
on a "hello world" program.

   NASM FASM GCC Tcc Pascal Fortran DASH Tcc (interpreted)
   Lua (interpreted) Gambas KSH Perl C++  Lua (précompiled)
   Ada ZSH TCSH Tcl BASH PHP Python Lush Java

Tcc is doin' good. Add to this it compiles faster than GCC and offers a very 
small size compiler... Very impressive. Not to mention it can interpret C, a 
very good feature that is included within the tests too!

I can't believe java is 26 times slower. In other words when a java 
application is launched, in the meantime you could start 26 applications
written in C. Sad fact, the Java virtual machine shows the same gap on 
windowze.

The results are here:
