So I was curious to see if i could get 5-10% boost out of Erlang r12b3 
via llvm built vm, turns out it actually decreases speed a bit in 
comparison to my gcc.  I used the http://shootout.alioth.debian.org for 
benchmark codes  and ran all benchmarks.  I would be happy to send all 
info if anyone is interested.
