Are those benchmarks from Tom's Hardware documented at all? Maybe we could
"rebuild" those benchmarks for linux? When they are run on a low-spec
machine then the results should be the same on other machines. User tests
should be done to verify the results aren't just laboratory results.

I might be interested to builds those benchmarks systems, but would need
help with making them.

With metta, Chris
