The benchmark for usability cannot be measured by an automated program. Using economic jargon, it would have to be measured in "utils/hour" where utils is the utilitarian amount of work one is able to do in each system. This cannot be measured by application startup speed or even application running speed. It has so many variables that it can only truly be measured by itself.
Honestly, I personally _favor_ anecdotal evidence to benchmarks, because anecdotal evidence takes reality into account while "scientific" methods tend to not do so.
