   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.
