I always wish these benchmarks had a "Conclusion" or "Discussion" section...


(Also see the homepage)

    tl;dr

    Measurement is highly specific -- the time taken for
    this benchmark task, by this toy program, with this
    programming language implementation, with these options,
    on this computer, with these workloads.

    Same toy program, same computer, same workload -- but
    much slower.

    Measurement is not prophesy.



Particularly: "Last words -- A good starting point"
