Re: v8 first impressions

I ran a comparison of the Richards benchmark for which both Javascript
and Smalltalk versions are available.

The version released with V8 isn't exactly comparable to the standard
version since it uses a count of 1000 rather than 10000. With that
tweaked to match the standard count I ran a comparison of V8 against a
selection of Smalltalk VMs - VisualWorks NC, Squeak, GNU Smalltalk and
Strongtalk.

I customised the Smalltalk tests to follow the same methodology as the
V8 benchmarks - iterating the test for a second and then dividing by
the number of iterations.

The results are interesting

Strongtalk:    7.335ms
VW:           13.013ms
V8:           13.648ms
GNUSmalltalk: 91.090ms
Squeak:      102.600ms

All of the tests were run on a Vista 64 Quad core machine at 2.66 GHz,
though in each case I was running a 32 bit VM (since not all the VMs
have 64 bit builds).
