Sorry.  You get the code by clicking on the language name:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=chameneos&lang=all
The task description is at the bottom of the page.

The one similar to MLton is:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=chameneos&lang=ocaml&id=0

The one similar to C code:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=chameneos&lang=ocaml&id=3

Point taken.  After a more careful investigation, MLton does not use
OS threads so it is not really a valid comparison.  The GCC one (which
uses pthreads and semaphores) still seems to hold -- maybe I
overlooked something.

Possibly.  I will investigate what I can do in that direction
(pointers are welcome :).

Thanks,
