pkgsrc/benchmarks/bytebench/DESCR
jlam bf18695c94 Update bytebench to 4.1.0. Pkgsrc changes from the previous package include
moving the state directory for bytebench to /var/benchmarks instead of
trying to keep state in ${PREFIX}/share/bytebench.  Distribution changes
from version 3.6 include:

	* Double precision Whetstone instead of the old "double" benchmark.
	* Removal of some obsolete files.
	* "system" suite adds shell8.
	* perlbench and poll added as "exhibition" (non-index) benchmarks.
	* Minor change to fstime.c to fix overflow problems on fast machines.
	* A lot more operating system-oriented tests into the index.
	* Many tests rewritten to be more relevant for modern processors.
	* New baseline: SPARCstation 20-61 with 128 MB RAM, a SPARC Storage
	  Array, and Solaris 2.3

BYTE's UNIX benchmarking suite is small enough to port easily to any UNIX
system, yet diverse and flexible enough to be useful for a wide spectrum of
benchmarking requirements. Besides, they're in the public domain, so they
can be obtained for little, if any, cost. What better reason do you need to
use them?
