 Step 1 : Are the programs faster? At a glance.

This chart shows 3 comparisons - Time-used, Memory-used and Code-used ~ speed and size.

Each chart bar shows, for one unidentified benchmark, how much the fastest program used compared to the fastest Zonnon Mono program.

Look at speed another way - look at a box plot of Time-used data.

 Step 2 : Are the programs faster? Approximately.

This table shows 3 comparisons - Time-used, Memory-used and Code-used ~ speed and size.

Each table row shows, for one named benchmark, how much the fastest program used compared to the fastest Zonnon Mono program.

used what fraction? used how many times more?
Benchmark	Time	Memory	Code
nsieve	11×	13×	±
n-body	49×	1/3	±

used what fraction? used how many times more?
Time-used	|-	|---	25%	median	75%	---|	-|
(CPU secs)	11×	11×	11×	30×	49×	49×	49×

± read the measurements and then read the program source code.

 Step 3 : Are the programs faster? Measurements.

This table shows 5 measurements - CPU Time, Elapsed Time, Memory, Code and ≈ CPU Load ~ speed and size.

For each named benchmark, measurements of the fastest program are shown for comparison against measurements of the fastest Zonnon Mono program.

 Step 4 : Are there other programs for these benchmarks?

Remember - those are just the fastest and Zonnon Mono programs measured on this OS/machine. Check if there are other implementations of these benchmark programs for .

Maybe one of those other programs is fastest on a different OS/machine.

 Step 5 : Are there other faster programs for these benchmarks?

Remember - those are just the fastest and Zonnon Mono programs measured on this OS/machine. Check if there are faster implementations of these benchmark programs for other programming languages.
