Seems like you have plucked "probably less than 3x slower" out of thin air!

(And you need to say what you mean by "high-level languages" - Java?)

Strange that you compared OCaml to the slower Java -client instead of Java -server
[Java -server](http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4sandbox/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=ocaml&lang2=java)

Strange not to compare OCaml with other compiled languages rather than with interpreted languages like Python, Perl and Ruby.

You quote the text about the benchmarks game but don't link to the benchmarks game? How bizarre!
