You can not publish TPC tests without a TPC fee :). However there are
plenty of other tests such as dbt2 and odbcbench that can give you
comparable and free results.
I mentioned a TPC test as an example: any kind of (well known)
"standard" test would do.
I guess it goes without saying anyone running such a test would do
well to send word to the mailing list with a URL to the results. :)
