Hi Peter,

You say that the results may be accurate, but not relevant.


NO, I said that whether they're accurate is another matter.

If they are accurate,.... THEN they are obviously very relevant.

Crap-o-la. Whether or not they're relevant depends on how well they happen to reflect your particular usage pattern.

There are NO benchmarks which are relevant to all users. Understanding whether or not a benchmark is relevant to one's particular application is one of the trickiest things about benchmarks.
