What's up with this? So Bench J3D may not be a good test in terms of real
world performance. I believe the goal of it is to compare the effect of
hardware differences on frame rate, and I think for that it does its job.
In any case, if you are so dissatisfied with it why don't you write a better
benchmark instead of wasting your time and ours complaining about this one?
