Benchmarks

The following benchmarks from Larceny give an indication of how well Cyclone performs compared with other R⁷RS Schemes. These benchmarks were recorded on a system with an Intel Core i5 CPU @ 2.20 GHz and indicate elapsed time in seconds. Longer bars indicate worse performance, although a bar is not displayed if the benchmark could not be completed in a reasonable amount of time.
