Hello All

Just doing some tests of REBOL 2.2 floating point speed.  On a 450 MHz P2
running Win98, at the console I get:

>> start: now/time a: 9.0 b: 0.5 loop 1000 [loop 10000 [c: a ** b]]
now/time - start
== 0:00:20

The overhead for the empty loop is about 1 second.  I am interested in what
others get with different platforms and processors, or even functionally
identical loop in other scripting languages.  On my machine, REBOL is
slightly faster than VBScript for the floating point, but the VBScript loop
overhead is about 6 seconds.

Cheers

Larry
