Performance is pretty okay on basic, small programs. The included factorial
function takes 0.1 second on 100000 iterations. As a scale, a Python 3.3 program

function takes 0.1 second on 100000 iterations (for 12). As a scale, a Python
3.5 program on the same machine using the code:
``
```python
def fac(n):
if n < 2: return 1
else: return n * fac(n-1)
return n * fac(n-1)
fac(12)

```
takes about 3.7 seconds on 100000 iterations.
takes about 1.9 seconds on 100000 iterations.
This does not say anything about overall performance though and I am not
sure whether this small, funny test has any real value in measuring performance.
Also, Python is much more feature-rich, so you cannot compare the two at all.
I wouldn't want to compare this to Python.
