> If the solution doesn't represent "real code", then is there any real value?

When you're actually aiming for performance, in my experience code stops looking like "real code" pretty quickly in the hotspot, so benchmarks are representative in that way.

I mean, for example media codecs "written in C" are typically highly vectorised, architecture-specific ASM kernels with C around it for handling the flow.
