Torsten 95af84e752 fixing test to pass
and extract own kind of same tests to bench
bench tests will need some loop, but not as large as c

# Benchmarks
hello - output hello world to measure kernel calls
add - run integer adds by linear fibonacci of 20
call - exercise calling by recursive fibonacci of 10
noop - a baseline that does nothing
All programs (apart from noop) run 100k times to minimize startup impact.
C was linked statically as dynamic linked influences times. Output was sent to /dev/null, so as
to measure the calling and not the terminal.
# Results
Results were measured by a ruby script. Mean and variance was measured until variance was low,
always under one percent. Noop showed that program startup is a factor, so all programs loop
to 100k.
The machine was a virtual arm (qemu) run on a acer swift 5 (i5 8265 3.9GHz), performance roughly equivalent to a raspberry pi.
But results (in ms) should be seen as relative, not absolute.
language | noop | hello | add | call
c | 45 | 100 | 72 | 591
go | 53 | 4060 | 64 | 624
rubyx | 42 | 1245 | ????? | ????
ruby | 1830 | 2750 | 3000 | 1900_000
Comparison with ruby, not really for speed, just to see how much leeway there is in the future.
