Note: timings are average values and may vary under different conditions, i.e. the amount of free memory, swapped memory, amount of cpu cache, etc. I've tried to make them as accurate as possible, within limits. Note: many of the testing systems were provided by HP's testdrive program; many thanks to them for giving me access to their systems. Also thanks to SourceForge for their compile farm! Note: to avoid religious wars, in the table below read GNU/Linux for Linux - I'm just a little cramped for space...
