> Way back when we were playing around with J3, we put together the macroBenchmark methods as a more realistic indication of performance than the various micro benchmarks.  Are they still available?  If not, they can be run in older images (3.4 has them and runs them even now).  They have the minor downside of changing with tweaks to the image, but they have the upside of being quite realistic and absolutely comparable from VM to VM.  I highly recommend them to anyone serious about performance evaluation.

I have resurrected most of them for Croquet.
