The "Full CPU Time" numbers in the main benchmark page don't always
match up with the "Full CPU Time" numbers in the corresponding
side-by-side page. For example, the count-words benchmark:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php?test=wc&lang=all&sort=cpu
lists, for N=2500, the following "Full CPU Time" numbers:
gcc: 0.13
clean: 0.15
mlton: 0.17
ocaml: 0.19
yet the side-by-side page:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/sidebyside.php?test=wc&p1=gcc-0&p2=clean-0&p3=mlton-0&p4=ocaml-0&sort=cpu
lists, for N=2500, the following "Full CPU Time" numbers:
gcc: 0.08
clean: 0.09
mlton: 0.12
ocaml: 0.13
Are different measurements being used? I noticed similar
discrepancies on other tests' pages.
