that kind of thing?
Many of those benchmarks look good.
However, I suggest avoiding trivially reducible problems like computing constants (e, pi, primes, fib)
true in general, but I know I use computed constants in real code because it's cleaner than using their expanded value, so it's worth checking whether a compiler can (still) do (how much of) that. Isaac
