I noticed they were included in the .zip file John sent. Here is the 
summary:

Averages for 128000elements (except first test):
raw time    : 229.127 secs
func calls  : 323.871 secs (avg percentage 183.074)
vtable calls: 307.038 secs (avg percentage 174.966)
foreach calls: 236.767 secs (avg percentage 104.929)
