+One of Go's design goals is to approach the performance of C for comparable +programs, yet on some benchmarks it does quite poorly, including several +in test/bench. The slowest depend on libraries +for which versions of comparable performance are not available in Go. +For instance, pidigits depends on a multi-precision math package, and the C +versions, unlike Go's, use GMP (which is +written in optimized assembler). +Benchmarks that depend on regular expressions (regex-dna, for instance) are +essentially comparing Go's stopgap regexp package to +mature, highly optimized regular expression libraries like PCRE. +
+ ++Benchmark games are won by extensive tuning and the Go versions of most +of the benchmarks need attention. If you measure comparable C +and Go programs (reverse-complement is one example), you'll see the two +languages are much closer in raw performance than this suite would +indicate. +
+ ++Still, there is room for improvement. The compilers are good but could be +better, many librarise need major performance work, and the garbage collector +isn't fast enough yet (even if it were, taking care not to generate unnecessary +garbage can have a huge effect). +
