This is complete nonsense. In any language you try to get most from =20 your gpu, someone writing in C would do the same. Your sentence translates to I will program badly on purpose to test =20 ocaml's speed. I'm sure you wouldnt't do that. And by the way _if_ your bottleneck is on the gpu or in cpu to gpu =20 transfers this attitude will in no way test ocaml's performance. Best, Daniel
