+The following [benchmarks from Larceny](http://www.larcenists.org/benchmarksGenuineR7Linux.html) give an indication how well Cyclone performs compared with other R<sup>7</sup>RS Schemes. 
 
-The benchmarks were recorded on a system with an Intel Core i5 CPU @ 2.20 GHz, and indicate elapsed time. A longer bar indicates worse performance, however if a benchmark could not be completed in a reasonable amount of time there is no bar at all for that Scheme.
