Okay, so I just tested the n-body benchmark [1] for Rust and C++ (program #8), and where they list runtimes of 24.62/9.4 (a factor of 2.62), I actually got a factor of 1.25 (5.45/4.35) on my machine [2]. I used the same version of Rust and nearly the same version of gcc (4.9.1 vs 4.9.2). Conclusion: Don't draw conclusions from the benchmarks game.
