[erlang-questions] ring benchmark results: Is Erlang crazy fast?

[Johannes]

i checkd it with joes code and got this results:
Setup : 0.181000 s (11.3132 us per spawn) (15999 spawns)
Run   : 1.35300 s (1.34226 us per msg) (1007999 msgs)

and i tried with ecc/elink:
j_schn14@REDACTED:~/tmp/erlang/ring$ ecc zog.erl
j_schn14@REDACTED:~/tmp/erlang/ring$ elink zog.beam
j_schn14@REDACTED:~/tmp/erlang/ring$ !.
./zog
real    0m0.386s
user    0m0.164s
sys     0m0.020s
j_schn14@REDACTED:~/tmp/erlang/ring$

why does this happen ?? why is there a different result if i use
ecc&elink or if i use erl ??
