Hi Stefan,

the benachmarks are from an older version of SMark that was on
SmalltalkHub. I will take a look at integrating your newer versions.

About also running TruffleSOM, while it might be interesting for some
benchmarks, I am really interested in testing VMs that run the full image
(including heartbeat, event sensor) while running those benchmarks.

cheers,
Tim
