ie comparing Ocaml string handling to Java and other web languages like
php, perl, ruby and python.
While I agree that yes, it is possible to write slow code in Ocaml
(or any other language), I suspect that idiomatic Ocaml string handling
compiled to a binary is just as fast if not faster than Java/Perl/Python/
Ruby/PHP/whatever.
