The old benchmark suite is long out of date. Unless you're planning hardware 
purchases, the usual thing of actual interest is how fast your actual 
simulation systems of interest run on your actual hardware, and you are best 
placed to gather that data. :-) An external benchmark might be nice, but 
chances are there's so much difference between what it tested and what you 
need, that any conclusions would need a big grain of salt, and you'd still have 
to go and test for yourself...
