Benchmarking

• Josiah wanting to check out price per performance over 5 years for hardware
• Had been making the assumption that multicore machines were improving performance
• Lee’s runs are deterministic; Tom’s are not

• problem seems to be inherent in Clojure
• Josiah is checking out the numbers with a company that designs high performance JVMs
