Hi, I tried a few benchmarks from Computer Language Benchmark Game (http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/which-programming-languages-are-fastest.php) on CogVM to compare it with VisualWorks and with the rest of the world.
Of course this benchmarks are not ideal (like all benchmarks) but the result is that CogVM is in average 1.8 times slower than VisualWorks 7.8 NC. For the most successful benchmark (binary-trees) it was 13.5 times slower than C (gcc) but in general we may except CogVM to be 20-30 times slower than C for this kind of tasks. Thank you for the great work! Cheers, -- Pavel
