For anyone looking for a real benchmark, check out the OSDB project
(http://osdb.sourceforge.net). It's based on the fairly respected AS3AP
benchmark. The drawback is that you can't easily generate the test data,
yet. I've been working on that, but I sort of ran out of algebra for a
while. For now you can download some test data sets, but note that
they're really too small to run the benchmark accurately.
