THat is the most comprehensive benchmark I have *ever* seen. :)

Actually, the Raq3 is significantly more robust than the Raq2.  Try doing
like a crashme script with MySQL or something like that.  That will give you
a better impression of overall speed.  A single process like that under
non-scientific conditions is nothing more than a very minor indication of
performance, if even that.
