[Gambas-user] Wow, Gambas is twice as fast as (Free) Pascal

[T Lee Davidson]

I guess I should have included my system information; just didn't think 
about it being relevant at the time. Obviously, though, it is.

System Info:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz, 1G RAM
Mageia 3, Kernel 3.10.54 (KDE4)
Gambas 3.5.4
Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.4 [2014/03/07] for i386


Interestingly, closing my web browser gave me better performance with 
both, but still a roughly 2:1 difference:

Pascal program compiled with `fpc polynom.pas` and then timed:
real    0m22.445s
user    0m20.875s
sys     0m0.014s

Gambas program executed with `time gbs3 -f -c polynom.gambas`:
real    0m11.303s
user    0m10.297s
sys     0m0.035s
