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.
