When did you look - six months ago? a year ago? 3 years ago? > most of these tests depends on libraries speed Most? 2 of 12 strongly depend on libraries because PCRE and GMP are explicitly allowed. > in one test, PHP is 1st I don't believe that has ever been true - which test? > from 2 or 3 tests that depends on compiler speed, one > was fooled by adding special function readInt to ghc libs and the rest > are written in low-level haskell code - look the sources Please note that "sum-file" is not included in the current tests. Please note that "sum-file" has not been included since autumn 2008. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
