I think the problem with these "benchmarks" is that when their 
favorite language is up there and not doing as good as the 
others, people begin to yell out that they didnt optimize the 
code well, either through compiler flags or something else.

There should be a public benchmark standard.

No special functions. No special linker flags. Just the plain 
code and compilation process.
