This directory contains source for various performance benchmarks.

Some simple tests of function calls and dispatching are given for
Sather, Eiffel and C++ in "ahmad_bench.sa", "ahmad_bench_eiffel.e",
and "ahmad_bench_c++.cc". The Eiffel results are in
"eiffel_results.txt". The Sather and C++ results are in "results". The
rest of the files are a series of tests that were derived from the
Stanford Integer Benchmarks gathered by Hennessy. The "*.sa" files
give Sather versions and the "*.cc" give C++ versions. A comparison of
the results is given in "results".
