The benchmarks aren't mine, they're standard performance evaluation (SPEC) defined by spec.org http://www.spec.org Click on the desired benchmark (I was referring to the CPU benchmarks) and click on "published results". The manufacturers (Sun, Dell, HP, etc.) buy the benchmarks, configure their best compiler for speed, run them, and submit the results. My point is that Sun ran the benchmarks, under very strict rules set forth by SPEC.
