imho this is ok to include as test time.
reason: if the libraries are needed for the test, then it is ok to count
the seconds used to load them as part of the test time.

seconded. very true. good thing (tm). (i would like to say brilliant,
but that would be patting my own back way too much :-)
adjust n to make the fastest language run in (1, 2...somethingelse)
seconds. just guessing that ''somethingelse'' should be 5 is better than
what we have now, but we could try to find a good value of
''somethingelse''.
we still need to have several values of n and the graphs. they are
indespensable. imho.
