Where are you getting that Pascal is the most memory efficient (edit: duh, under the "memory efficiency" table, mistakingly read this as "efficient")? It's firmly in the middle of the pack in every result, in their global result table it's slower and less energy efficient than Java (!). It's only advantage is that it's smaller than anything else.

Don't mean to assume you are wrong, but what are you referring to?

In the `Normalized Global Results` table, Pascal is used as the reference (for memory use) and everything else is reported relative to it.
