 Since all these languages share a subset comprising most of standard C, maximal-performance benchmarks would show little runtime variance, other than in length and clarity of source code.
 Instead, the presented benchmarks show the costs of idiomatic use of each language's features to examine common usage.
-Figure~\ref{fig:MicroBenchmark} shows the benchmark tests for a generic stack based on a singly linked-list, a generic pair-data-structure, and a variadic @print@ routine similar to that in Section~\ref{sec:variadic-tuples}.
-The experiments are:
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item
-N stack pushes of int, where N = 40M
-\item
-copy int stack 
-\item
-clear int stack
-\item
-N stack pops of int
-\end{enumerate}
+Figure~\ref{fig:MicroBenchmark} shows the \CFA benchmark tests for a generic stack based on a singly linked-list, a generic pair-data-structure, and a variadic @print@ routine similar to that in Section~\ref{sec:variadic-tuples}.
+The tests are similar for C and \CC.
+The first two experiments use element types @int@ and @pair( _Bool, char)@, and push $N=40M$ elements on a generic stack, copy the stack, clear one of the stacks, and find the maximum value in the other stack.
+The last experiment creates a file and prints $N=40M$ elements of type @int@ and @pair( _Bool, char)@ using a variadic print.
+
 The structure of each implemented is: C with @void *@-based polymorphism, \CFA with the different presented features, \CC with templates, and \CC using only class inheritance for polymorphism, called \CCV.
 The \CCV variant illustrates an alternative object-oriented idiom where all objects inherit from a base @object@ class, mimicking a Java-like interface;
 hence runtime checks are necessary to safely down-cast objects.
-The most notable difference among the implementations is in memory layout of generic types: \CFA and \CC inline the stack and pair elements into corresponding list and pair nodes, while C and \CCV lack such a capability and store generic objects via pointers to separately-allocated objects instead.
-For the print benchmark, idiomatic printing is used: the C and \CFA variants use @stdio.h@, while the \CC and \CCV variants use @iostream@.
-Preliminary tests show this difference has little runtime effect.
