[Wellington-pm] Parrot "Faster than C"

[Dave Moskovitz]

Forgive me a quick trip down memory lane here ...

As a CS student in the late 1970's, I was devastated when code generated by 
the PL/I optimising complier beat my assembler language implementation of a 
prime number generator.  

Nice to know that these things work the way they're supposed to!
