How do people do benchmarks when it comes to
comparing the speed of different
computer languages?

Do you solve a wide/varied set of problems (the
same set) with different languages and then
compare the wall clock execution time?

Perhaps using an atomic clock in
a sterile environment?

Now, while that would be interesting to do,
I think it's pretty clear Elisp would benefit
from more speed. Maybe it is not slow for its
purposes, but it ain't fast either, sure is
my impression.
