@specialized stats?

I think Rex posted some a while back. I can only find this for now but I'm sure he posted a more detailed breakdown:

Well, you can guess how much specialization helps by looking at

http://scala-programming-language.1934581.n4.nabble.com/Super-slow-for-comprehension-when-emulating-basic-for-loop-about-200k-iterations-second-td2341027i40.html#a2341383

among other things.  At the time of that posting, Range was specialized and Array for was not, as I recall.

But specialization has been improving and changing over the last few months, so I don't have a current set of benchmarks; I tend to add it and test on a case-by-case basis in my own code.

There are some dramatic numbers of interest in my opening message here:
