Don't a lot of those benchmarks end up only measuring how fast your language can call out to GMP to do the real work? And regex-dna ends up measuring your regex implementation which for a lot of them is again just going to be measuring how fast they can all call out to PCRE.

They're neat and all and it is called the benchmarks game but I wish they'd remove the ones that end up getting gamed like that.

No. Have you looked at the programs?
