I like the idea of the Game, as long as you see it as a game ;)

For real performance comparisons I think the rules are not really followed all that well. Many tests end up being how quickly can you execute tuned assembly or use memory arena's with out being denied access.

Still an interesting collections and certainly useful but take the limits of these tests into consideration before using it to claim anything.
