Again, you have to look at my original intent for writing these tests.
It was not to benchmark 2 compilers (although that did start an
interesting thread), but to see if some of the untested performance
assumptions. My goal was to show the number bogus. I have done so
already.

As for ACES, I am running the ACES tests now but am rather disappointed
in ACES. I have had to modify some of the code already (They had a
'small on a float) and I can not run the scripts in Apex as they put
spec's/bodies/many packages in the same file. I am able to get the
results I want, but it takes far longer than it should. At least the
ACES results will look better on a slide to management. :)
