No, any report with a value < 1 is IMPERFECT, and large deviations
from 1 indicate a bug.

It means that we are misoptimizing test 0, a very simple loop.
All the loops should run at the same rate.  If any loop runs slower,
it means that the compiler is putting out pessimal code for that loop.

A perfect compiler will produce 1.0 for every test.
