JIT-compiling doesn't beat g++ compiling in that benchmark, nor do I 
understand quite why it should beat OCaml either -- the author mentions 
poor OCaml float performance.

I'm not an OCaml programmer, which is why I asked Mr. Harrop for some 
insight.  I only knew, based on more than one source, that it's capable 
of very C++-like performance.  caught off-guard...
