This is just an attempt to provide something more fun and "real" than 
just simple measuring of millions of iterations over a+=1 in different 
languages. It includes simple string operations, date manipulating, some 
calculating and I/O.
Those things are somehow comparable in the means of execution speed. To 
compare fullblown solutions...I don't know...you can write thesis about 
it but among other aspects you definitely need a fair and simple speed 
test and then I suppose you will find my 2c quite usable :)
