Jeffrey Hobbs: These are the normalized benchmarks, using "8.4a3" as the base. These numbers correspond to the ones in Tcl Benchmarks.
After each interp run, the elapsed time (%H:%M:%S) taken for that interp is shown, to give an overview of the whole run. Note that not all tests run on all interpreters, and the code isn't always equal between versions (the functionality of the code should be).
