I believe it's arstechnica.com that had an article on this. Slashdot carries a few references to articles, but I have no time to search for them. In a project with text parsers I have seen a quick 'n dirty interpreted parser run rings around a carefully handtuned C parser. We found out the interpreted parser fit entirely into the instruction cache of the host, while the C parser was several times larger than that cache.
