Joan - You might want to check-out the following web sites for info about
how benchmark testing actually work.  Scott Wainner's System Optimization
Site,  http://www.sysopt.com/bench.html  or Course Technology--Info Web:
Benchmarks, http://www.cciw.com/content/benchmarks.html.   At the latter
site, you will find links  to a newsgroup and more.  HTH.
