On comparing Swift runtime performances

Since swift is released as open source it would be interesting to compare swift performances. I found the interesting project http://github.com/andreaferretti/kmeans that compares the execution time of the KMeans algorithm on several languages.

From the results it looks like that the execution time is comparable to python and it is pretty distant from the top.
