Yes indeed. I hope I don't sound too critical - I think the work that the original developers have done on this is great, and java is an ideal language for this sort of benchmark. I would never have started a project like this myself. Understanding the tpc-c spec is one thing, but implementing it something else altogether. I've learnt a lot from it, but as a general benchmark I found it needed a lot of work. So I have found it a good starting point for what I wanted to do and could never have done it otherwise.
