This is a point that has been long debated.... i.e. should be benchmark be changed to reflect new compiler options or left as they are so they relate to all the benchmarks that were ran from the past.
I have always wanted to have the entire benchmark history/ tradition over time and have not been a fan of trying to optimize the marks with compiler flags that were not available in the past. The results of the marks will not be historically related to the beginning..... alpha-to-omega comparisons.
There have many many others who strongly dissagee and want to change them on the continuing basis. This 'tension' causes problems in the overall BM community, taking the fun out of it (and one of the reasons I stopped running the Linux BMs many years ago.)

Hello everyone.
Does anyone know where to I could find published benchmarks for how a Linux box performs. It would be nice if I could find a comparison to the Windows OS.
Thanks,

benchmark::apps
Benchmark::Apps(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Benchmark::Apps(3pm)
NAME
Benchmark::Apps - Simple interface to benchmark applications.
SYNOPSIS
This module provides a simple interface to benchmark applications (not necessarily Perl applications).
use Benchmark::Apps;
my $commands = {
cmd1 => 'run_command_1 with arguments',
cmd2 => 'run_command_2 with other arguments',
};
my $conf = { pretty_print=>1, iters=>5 };
Benchmark:Apps::run( $commands, $conf );
DESCRIPTION
This module can be used to perform simple benchmarks on programs. Basically, it can be used to benchmark any program that can be called
with a system call.
FUNCTIONS
run
This method is used to run benchmarks. It runs the commands described in the hash passed as argument. It returns an hash of the results
each command. A second hash reference can be passed to this method: a configuration hash reference. The values passed in this hash
override the default behaviour of the run method. The configuration options available at this moment are:
"pretty_print"
When enabled it will print to stdout, in a formatted way the results of the benchmarks as they finish running. This option should de
used when you want to run benchmarks and want to see the results progress as the tests run. You can disable it, so you can perform
automated benchmarks.
Options: true(1) or false(0)
Default: false(0)
"iters"
This is the number of iterations that each test will run.
Options: integer greater than 1
Default: 5
"args"
This is a reference to an anonymous function that will calculate the command argument based on the iteraction number.
Options: any function reference that returns a string
Default: empty function: always returns an empty string, which means no arguments will be given to the command
run
This method runs the commands described in the hash passed as argument. It returns an hash of the results and return codes for each
command.
pretty_print
This method is used to print the final result to STDOUT before returning from the "run" method.
time_this
This method is not meant to be used directly, although it can be useful. It receives a command line and executes it via system, taking
care of registering the elapsed time.
EXAMPLES
Check files in "examples/".
