I used the `sieve4.8b` script to benchmark EightBall.
I set `sz` to 30 in order to compute the first 900 primes.
Timings include the the printing of the results.
Running on an Apple //e (1MHz 6502.)
- **Interpreter** - took 6 mins 12 sec from `run` to termination.
- **Compiler** - took 43 seconds from completion of loading bytecode until termination.
The compiler is achieving a speedup of 8.65 compared to the interpreter.
