In response to the benchmarks sent out last week, out of curiosity, I
compiled, loaded, and ran the gabriel-benchmarks on my UX400S.  I did nothing
to ensure cleanliness of world, etc.  Note, however, that the top-level
functions in the benchmark file call the GC before running each function and
run each function some number of times where the number appears to depend on
the detected behavior.

The results, in general, show the UX to be twice as fast as the 36xx times
posted last week.  The benchmarks were run under 7.4.  With Symbolic's PR
saying 8.0 will generate faster UX code, hopefully we'll see even more
competitive times.  Notice, also, that I do have an FPA (although I never need
it for what I do).

The most troublesome results in terms of disproportionate time for the UX
compared to the other (non-symbolics) systems seem to be CTAK and the Div2...
results.  The Div2 functions are merely list consing and traversing skipping
every other element from the initial list.  This function seems to use common
enough tasks for its behavior to be worrisome, but I didn't try to see how it
differed from other functions where the UX performed well.
