Compare the performance of Forth GNU GForth programs against some other language implementation, or check the Forth CPU time and Memory use measurements.
For more information about the Forth implementation we measured see ↓ about Forth GNU GForth.
Are the Forth GNU GForth programs better?
For each of one our benchmarks, a white bar shows which language implementation had the faster program, and a black bar shows which used the least memory.
How many times better?
How many times faster or smaller are the Forth GNU GForth programs than the corresponding Perl programs?
