"Benchmark" is ambiguous about a translation program: it can mean
tests of run-time efficiency on the process of translating or
(if this can vary i.e. compiler not assembler) of translated code.
Generally I don't worry how fast the translators I use will run,
so long as it is not perceptibly and annoyingly slow to me.
