It's kind-of fun having "C" at both the top and bottom of a performance table - http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/compare.php?lang=cint http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/compare.php?lang=cint But let's note that here CINT is only being used as a C interpreter but a CINT script can call compiled classes/functions and compiled code can make callbacks to CINT interpreted functions - which I'm sure you understand would make it a lot faster.
