The Nelson benchmarks measure a number of parameters of system
performance and allows comparisins between machines. They are not
sponsored by any one vendor, measure CPU, i/o and multi-tasking
factors. I have looked a his comparisons between machines and they
agree very closely with mine, done using another benchmark suite. I
think using a suite which has been around for years, developed by
someone who is selling benchmarking rather than computers, is a good
idea. It also allows results to be measured against other machines,
past and future. Trying to develop a suite on short notice is a waste
of time.
