[ANN] Exupery 0.10 released, now on Windows and Linux

[Jakub Kozisek]

First of all - let me thank you to the work you have done, Bruce!

I have tested Exupery with provided image on 3 different machines. And
here are the numbers:

1) Intel Pentium 4 Mobile 1.8 GHz (Win VM) - look at doLoopsBenchmark results!

arithmaticLoopBenchmark 2097 compiled 158 ratio: 13.272
bytecodeBenchmark 2958 compiled 619 ratio: 4.778
sendBenchmark 2718 compiled 1874 ratio: 1.449
doLoopsBenchmark 1647 compiled 2965 ratio: 0.555
largeExplorers 1156 compiled 1166 ratio: 0.991
compilerBenchmark 1082 compiled 1085 ratio: 0.997
Cumulative Time 8093.659 compiled 3693.635 ratio 2.190

2) AMD Sempron 3100+ 1.8GHz (Win VM) - this one was born to run Exupery :)

arithmaticLoopBenchmark 1708 compiled 113 ratio: 15.115
bytecodeBenchmark 2505 compiled 545 ratio: 4.596
sendBenchmark 1871 compiled 841 ratio: 2.225
doLoopsBenchmark 1203 compiled 809 ratio: 1.487
largeExplorers 704 compiled 458 ratio: 1.536
compilerBenchmark 701 compiled 774 ratio: 0.906
Cumulative Time 5437.323 compiled 1715.399 ratio 3.169

3) Intel Pentium Celeron 2000+

arithmaticLoopBenchmark 1862 compiled 125 ratio: 14.896
bytecodeBenchmark 3115 compiled 732 ratio: 4.254
sendBenchmark 2130 compiled 973 ratio: 2.189
doLoopsBenchmark 1453 compiled 940 ratio: 1.546
largeExplorers 872 compiled 832 ratio: 1.048
compilerBenchmark 1078 compiled 1043 ratio: 1.034
Cumulative Time 7005.573 compiled 2356.208 ratio 2.972

Note: .tz extension means tar gzip format? If yes then having .tgz or
.tar.gz extension allows easier extraction in more tools (Total
Commander doesn't understand .tz, in WinZip and IZArc I had to rename
ungzipped file, etc.)

Bye!
