Ok, agreed that CPUID idea turn out to be more complex for development and 
support where many different platforms included, really thought only about 
x86 when wrote first comment on this topic.

But if benchmark can be shortened and simplified, and, even much more 
important, if it can be done not on schedule but on event basis, it's worth 
to code IMO.
Just one more unneeded overhead will gone.

And please, take into consideration not only cost of benchmark by itself. 
MUCH more important that benchmark preemts and interrupts current task in 
processing. This overhead, especially on Multi-CPU, multy-GPU hosts will be 
MUCH more bigger than just benchmark itself.
