Those are compilers, not languages you are comparing.
How would I do performance measurement of language without its compiler?
Taking this in account, to be honest, I think gcc should be ashamed for those results.
Agree! Even Java 1.4.2 (according to benchmark result at http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5602&page=3) is faster than gcc! Pity them! :D
Limit yourself to something that is actually bound by the language, and don't benchmark a trivial textmode driver implementation.
I just want to get FPC on the first rank on most of ACM contest. I/O performance is one of the biggest problem there. We (my friends and I from Indonesian Pascal developers community) always need to optimize FPC I/O code to get on top rank.
FYI... ACM uses FPC to compile submitted pascal solutions (http://online-judge.uva.es/board/viewtopic.php?t=7428). I think that'd be a plus to the FPC/Lazarus project. :)
