* General
+ Startup times
- For simple tests, many implementations suffer from slow startup times
. Niecza on mono suffers the most, with a very slow startup
. Rakudo on Parrot and Perlito* on JS follow with medium-high startup times
. Perlito* on perl5 is a bit faster with medium-low startup times
. NQP on Parrot has relatively quick startup times
. perl5 (native) has extremely fast startup times
- Use the '--ignore-startup' option to `analyze` to subtract startup times
so that pure compile and run time can be compared
+ Perl 6 v. NQP idioms
- Many idioms have to be changed to translate Perl 6 code to NQP code
- Because Rakudo can (mostly) compile both languages and Niecza can compile
some NQP code, this can be used to separate differences due to the
compiler versus differences due to the language idioms
* Individual tests
+ empty_loop_*
- Rakudo prefers the Perl 6 range iteration idiom to the NQP while loop
- Niecza *greatly* prefers the NQP while loop to the Perl 6 range iteration
idiom; it is unusually slow handling the Perl 6 idiom because:
- "niecza's Range.iterator has seen much less love"

+ rc-forest-fire
- Perlito6/* cannot yet compile this test
- Niecza can compile but not run the NQP version of this test since it does
not (for obvious reasons) recognize 'pir::' syntax for raw Parrot opcodes
