This one:

http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4sandbox/benchmark.php?test=pidigits&lang=squeak

is quite a microbenchmark but it effectively stresses all of:

- LargeInteger x LargeInteger performance
- LargeInteger x SmallInteger performance
- GC performance on LargeIntegers

(GST for example is great on the first two and sucks on the last, so 
it's good for small n and bad for large n...)
