The goal of the FoxNet project is to explore the advantages and drawbacks of implementing networking software using an extended version of the SML language. In this report, we document the performance of the FoxNet. Using the performance results as a guide, we compare small function overhead and memory access performance of the extended SML to the dominate systems programming language C.
