  Description     : UnixBench is the original BYTE UNIX benchmark suite, 
updated and revised by many people over the years.

The purpose of UnixBench is to provide a basic indicator of the performance of 
a Unix-like system; hence, multiple tests are used to test various aspects of 
the system's performance. These test results are then compared to the scores 
from a baseline system to produce an index value, which is generally easier to 
handle than the raw scores. The entire set of index values is then combined to 
make an overall index for the system.

Some very simple graphics tests are included to measure the 2D and 3D graphics 
performance of the system.

Multi-CPU systems are handled. If your system has multiple CPUs, the default 
behaviour is to run the selected tests twice -- once with one copy of each test 
program running at a time, and once with N copies, where N is the number of 
CPUs. This is designed to allow you to assess:

 * the performance of your system when running a single task
 * the performance of your system when running multiple tasks
 * the gain from your system's implementation of parallel processing

Do be aware that this is a system benchmark, not a CPU, RAM or disk benchmark. 
The results will depend not only on your hardware, but on your operating 
system, libraries, and even compiler.
