Only what I wrote on github; I haven't done any real benchmarking, and I
haven't done any recently -- nor have I compared it against the JIT.

What I wrote there is:

    Using the bubble sort benchmark from
    http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsLispBenchmark (with the list bumped
    to 1000 elements), with 100 runs, I got some timings:

    Approach    Seconds
    interpreted         54.874574673000005
    byte-compiled       13.390510359999999
    el-compilador       4.312016277000001

What I did for this test was compile the bubble sort code from Lisp to
C, then build Emacs with it linked in.
