Strange that you compared OCaml to the slower Java -client instead of Java -server [Java -server](http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4sandbox/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=ocaml&lang2=java)
Strange not to compare OCaml with other compiled languages rather than with interpreted languages like Python, Perl and Ruby.

There is one more benefit from programming in OCaml compared with Python, Lisp, Java, etc. It is the comparably strong type system and automatic types inference.
I also chose OCaml to program arithmetic and I am really very pleased with my choice.
Nowdays I use OCaml to do many other things as well, and learning OCaml and functional programming was an enlightening experience.
