yes, please.
i have written such a test in erlang (as a reaction to the object 
instantiation test), and sent it in some time ago.
there is a difference. in my test i create N threads, since this is a 
better measure of how well a language handles massively parallell 
programming (see Concurrency Oriented programming in Erlang

beats me. to make itr more difficult to draw conclusions from it :-)
