Are you quite sure about this? The c#, Lua, Tcl and D programs (ie, the 
successful ones) are all reporting:

T 30.41
A 30.30
C 19.65
G 19.63

When I change my Perl program to round *down* always on the 0.005 
boundary, it completes the benchmark locally for 10000, 20000, and 
30000. This makes no sense, but it seems to be the way things are working.
