I too hope this benchmark foofaraw is dying down.  Besides the fact
that ANSI C does not support the assumption that an "int" is bigger
than 16 bits in portable code, I would like to point out that the
posted benchmarks do not seem to be testing much that relates to the
expected behavior of real applications code.  Reminds me of the
meaningless stereo amplifier wattage race that starts up every decade
or so.
