I use vmark, find it _somewhat_ useful. Not a lovely benchmark, but it
is highly affinity sensitive, and switches heftily. I don't put much
value on it though, too extreme for me, but it is a ~decent indicator.

There are no doubt _lots_ better than vmark for java stuff.

I toss a variety pack at the box in obsessive-compulsive man mode when
testing. Which benchmarks doesn't matter much, just need to be wide
spectrum and consistent.

No, I use Ingo's pipe-test, but that to measure fastpath overhead.
