Added in Hisoft trials.
All the reviews and Hisoft said it was the fastest. Not what I found here, by a long margin. It was certainly the most flexible - in its ability to deal with large programs and floating point as well as integer. But the integer benchmarks I managed ran very slowly compared to the competition.
Oh dear.
Did I make a mistake? Here's the optimized BM7 program - used to avoid using DEF FN (which Hisoft allows, but most compilers don't)

Code:
7 REM :INT +a,k,v,i,m()
8 REM : OPEN#
9 CLS
10 POKE 23672,0: POKE 23673,0
90 POKE 23672,0
100 LET a=0: LET k=5: LET v=0
110 LET a=a+1
120 LET v=k/2*3+4-5
130 GO SUB 1000
140 DIM m(5)
150 FOR i=1 TO 5
160 LET m(i)=a
170 NEXT i
200 IF a<1000 THEN GO TO 110
210 PRINT (PEEK 23672+256*PEEK 23673)/50
999 STOP
1000 RETURN
