there was once MacBench from Ziff Davis. It made a very deep system
performance test on every single component, giving a good idea of where the
bottlenecks could be: It was able to compare systems on every single
meaningful or meaningless task. Was great!!
The last version I have is version 5 and then I have the impression that the
development stopped. Version 5 could test the G3 but not the G4. So now it
is useless. Do any of you have knowledge of a more recent version and can
point at a page where to find it?
