I am trying to compare the speed of a program run using the Maple interpreter, with that of the same program writen in say Fortran or Pascal and then compiled and run on the same PC. I have done this using an FFT program and have obtained a figure of approximately 840 : 1, which is much larger than the factor of 10 or so, that I expected. Does any one have either any comments about this, or perhaps any benchmarks of there own
