The benchmark runs for about an hour and finally presents its result on a web page as well. It looks very fancy and seems to have been a huge development project. However, I still have to get a real feel for it to understand what is actually happening in this new benchmark.
You also have the option to do a so-called 'technology run' with this benchmark, which supplies you with results like Flash Animation Performance, XML Performance, Java Performance, Encoding Performance and even Download Performance. However, so far the benchmark is too young as that I would rely on this technology run for processor performance evaluation yet. I will work with it for a while and see if it will make it into our standard benchmarking suite.
