i've seen that page some time ago but i don't really care of it.
i just wasn't interested.

Still - DOING such benchmark is good, as it can show general problems in

But working on software to make it better in some kind of synthetic 
benchmark is common in commercial software world. ("We have more 
performance per buck than company X")
