Summary: But how is benchmark's execution speed?

This modula-2 vs. C discussion is interesting.  For those of us who see
both sides and are deciding which compiler to use for our next project,
it would be helpful to see a comparison of EXECUTION speed between
benchmark and manx or lattice (or both).  Particularly interesting
would be modula implementations of drystone (sp?), seive, and the other
tests lattice uses in their comparisons with manx.  Has anybody done
this?  Would anybody who has benchmark be willing to do a few
comparisons?

Also, does benchmark modula-2 have some sort of macros?  Either lexical
macros like C has, or inline procedures?
