Languages without tail recursion will perform worse. Memoization is borderline cheating, because it's a different implementation.
Fib is the poster boy for tail recursion but the reason for that is that recursion to implement fib is simply a bad choice. It's cute but that's about it. If the point is to measure function call overhead, then measure _that_?
