Well, I checked all my sources carefully, and none of them write out a
million integers in a tight loop, so no, I do not care.

Benchmarking compilers is very useful but also very difficult to do right,
especially if you want to compare different languages with different 
compilers.

To get an idea you can find on my homepage a package that contains a number
of small "standard" benchmarks such as dhrystone, whetstone, etc. in both
their C and Ada incarnations. Notice here the attempt to make sure that
the compiler switches for the different languages are as equivalent as
possible.
