When you are trying to make at least a reasonably fair comparison
between two sets of libraries and compilers,
you shouldn't use significantly old versions of one and the latest of
the other, and then say "see the new hotness is faster and better".

It may indeed be so, but when presented as justification, you should
take the time to do it right.

*Especially* when the likelihood of something like this getting copied
and pasted all over the web is pretty high.
