[comp.windows.x] Ghrafstone Rating

veenak@edsews.EDS.COM (Veena Krishnaswamy) (09/08/89)

Recently I read about X Window Graphics performance tests that were
done by Workstation Laboratories of Dallas.  To compare the results,
the testing lab developed a composite graphics rating it calls the
Ghrafstone Rating.  I am interested in knowing what program was 
used for testing (xbench, x11perf ??)and what exactly the Ghrafstone 
rating is.  Any information will be appreciated.

They use a proprietary suite of benchmarks that you can buy from them
if you want to waste money on yet another way of generating a meaningless
number.
