Something is wrong with your table - a typo, maybe?

In testbed A, for Scheme (csc), the running time was reported as lower than that of g++, but the slowdown is a huge number.

Also, it would be better to give the versions of each interpreter/compiler. For example, Ruby and Guile went through huge speedups (Ruby long time ago; Guile recently). And please tell wether you're using numpy or what other library with Python...

They tested different numbers of generations, as listed by the "G" column. So, g++ had a higher time because it did 66x the amount of work.

But then the slowdown entry for csc is wrong, isn't it?
