This directory holds the Sizzle `benchmark' suite.  The benchmarks are
not very informative when comparing performance to other interpreters.
I mainly use them to check whether some internal change alters the
speed of the interpreter.

Benchmarks:

floats.scm      Tight loop for testing floating point arithmetic speed.
hanoi.scm	Towers of hanoi, for 20 desks.
ints.scm	Tight loop for testing integer arithmetic speed.
tailrecurse.scm Tail call speed testing.
tak.scm		The famous tak benchmark, running 20 times.

Info files:

benchmark.txt

Other files:

ChangeLog	GNU-style change history.
Makefile.am	Automake input file.
Makefile.in	Autoconf input file
README		This file.
tak.pl		The tak benchmark written in Perl.  Just for comparison :-)
