Our clients often decide between Le-Lisp and C++. One of the factors they consider very strongly is benchmark results. If we tried to tell.... This is all very interesting, but the fact remains that it is insane. For example, I could make the clearly undeniably correct statement that the civil war in the former Yugoslavia is insane, and others could just as rightly point out that people will continue killing each other for stupid reasons. Yet, my assessment of their sanity remains correct. Our clients make this same choice. Luckily we can offer both solutions, and we have a lot of success helping customers decide between them, and the result depends on their needs. When someone cares only about performance of the resulting code, you just warn them to design good algorithms and wave goodbye. -rpg-
