Beautiful - they fiddled with the baselines but still managed not to see
the obvious problem in execl() call in the execl benchmark for 64-bit
platform.
Or maybe they just don't care?
It seems to me they use the software a lot and it serves their purposes.
It's just a standardized version and run script that they use to evaluate web
servers.
Hmm. if the whole world uses wht version of unixbench maybe someone should
update freebsd ports version to this wht version, because otherwise we cannot
compare anything else than freebsd. Not good.
