<<I would rather rely on Drystones and Whetstones, since they do more of what I'm looking for. The SI benchmark seems akward, and more of something a WinDO$ fanatic would use. >> Drystone is known to be a completely broken benchmark, and no one should rely on it for anything (broken means that a compiler can easily subvert the test, and many compilers do). Whetstone is a little more reliable if you are measuring floating-point performance, but gives a completely inadequate reflection of cacehe effects. The livermore loops are probably much more reliable, or the new Spec suite.
