...how well would it perform? Of course, in the case of a user, the data could come from anywhere, and go anywhere - the terminal, a network socket, whatever. However, in a benchmark, all the data comes from (and goes) to places the compiler and see. Thus, it's necessary to make the compiler _pretend_ the data came from and goes to a "black box", in order for the benchmarks to even *remotely* resemble what they're meant to test. This is actually distinct from #1, #2, _and_ #3 above - quite simply, what is needed is a way to simulate a "real usage" scenario without ac...
