Thanks for the interesting results, but could you also obtain 
information about system configurations (i.e. memory size, disk 
types, number of users , ramdisk/no-ramdisk) and type of load 
these tests generate (i.e. i/o-bound and/or cpu-bound and what 
kind of cpu-load: scalar, vector, integer)

Best regards
