So far I'm doing all of the benchmarks in order and it seems as if they 
get harder as you go down the list.  I'm only skipping the dispatch 
benchmark for now because I want to understand it better and I want to 
write it only in Euphoria -- without using any external OO libraries.

Plus I don't understand state machines very well but I think it can be done.

When I am done I want to compare Euphoria 2.4 with Euphoria 2.5, 
Euphoria 2.5 translated, Euphoria 2.5 interpreter translated, and 
Euphoria 2.5 double interpreted (eu.ex).

I plan on using some standard program, like maybe a C version of wc, as 
a standard timing reference to compare against so that most machine 
differences can be discounted.  The same reference should be able to be 
used on Linux so that all tests have a standard time to reference against.

Since I'm using windows XP I should also write a testing framework in 
Euphoria like the shootout website uses Perl in order to test all the 
programs (once they're written) and record the results.

I don't know how I'll record the memory usage though.
