Benchmarks which point out bottlenecks in:
* intrinsic PMC performance (Hash, NameSpace, Sub)
* garbage collector overhead, tunings, and algorithms
* calling conventions overhead
... are useful to every HLL I've seen implemented.
I agree that benchmarking only op dispatch with primitive registers has little
bearing on HLL performance, but almost every one of the benchmarks I use
exercises at least one part of the HLL stack heavily.
