Sorry for top posting. Jason has more than a valid point. At least in former times, I do know that cut&paste from not only _identical_ configurations happened. For example, the system submitted to the list was equipped with eth NICs, whereas the performance quoted was from a similar system, but with a proprietary HPC interconnect.
So much for the apples-to-apples. I favour the SPEC suites when it comes to comparing systems, but with the caveat that vendors or customers of the larger system show little interrest.
