By the way, the numbers for my program might be (a little) high because I
use the like following:

#include <time.h>
void main()
{
        time_t end_time = time(NULL)+15;
        while (time(NULL) < end_time)
        {
                do_benchmark
                cycles += whatever
        }
        cout << cycles/15 << endl;
}

Whereas Euphoria does more exact timing (since the time() function in
Euphioria is floating-point, and the time function in C is a 32-bit int),
and also I don't bother checking if it's taken a second more (as it
probably hasn't). If anyone knows how to do more exact timing in C, tell
me and I'll re-test it.
