First step, of course, would be to run those benchmarks on DMDScript. Though 
everyone probably knows I'm a rather vocal anti-fan of JS, even I'd be very 
interested to see how DMDScript currently stacks up to the rest. I'd laugh 
my ass off if after all this time of not a whole lot of work on DMDScript 
besides the port to D2 (unless I'm mistaken), if it still managed to be on 
par with or beat all those others that have been pounding their chests and 
bashing each other over the head.
