when i created these benchmarks the intent was:
1 to show how fast a language would handle a growing number of threads
2 to show when a language failed to create more threads

unfortunatly the narrow focus of the shootout made these 2 impossible to 
measure. now the intent is something else. presumably it is
''to make sure a wide range of languages would complete the test''.
