Very interesting question. Actually, I have no benchmark available.
One of my goal is to look for a benchmark which could be representative
of a common use of that kind of package. The main problem is to define
what is the common use : each program can have a different use of
functions and procedures provided by that package.

I actually think that each programmer is free to choose the best
package for his (or her) needs in a particular program. Because of
that, I actually propose many packages in my site. Obviously, that
means that each programmer has to do a great work before choosing
the best package for his (or her) particular program, and a benchmark
could help.

Any idea on that subject?
