This performance test is not accurate. It does the time capture from within the same process -- the same function even, so it skips over the time spent loading the runtime, running through linked library symbols, time to load the binary, time to execute those symbols -- and pretty much every other piece besides in-runtime translation.

This article should either be retracted or rewritten to use external timer processes (such as time; please see man time for more details).

Agree 🙂. Note that I said in the beginning that I don't find the test to be meaningful. This is done just to response to the same test in the original post.
