What I meant was that the two images look very different. I can't make 
out what the boxes say, but nevertheless one is wide and shallow, the 
other narrow and deep. So this may not be an apples-to-apples 
comparison. As has been noted already, shimmering may play a role here 
or extra levels of abstraction via extra proc calls may skew the results 
in one language vs. the other.
