As absurd as it may sound, I know a guy who claims that the real-world performance of an APL system can be accurately predicted by finding out how fast an empty user-defined function can be called in a simple loop. Thus: N <- 1000 LOOP: FUN -> (0 >= N <- N - 1) / LOOP where FUN has no arguments and no body.
