> Thank you for your contributions (and time!)

> As computers have improved a lot since the benchmark was put together,
> there is a need for a new benchmark for ImageJ and java systems in
> general.
>
> We have noted the following:
>
> 1 - since chips are now so fast, the benchmark depends a lot more on the
> screen refreshing rate -and thus the graphics card- than on the CPU
> itself.
>
> 2 - the benchmark doesn't last enough to trigger dynamic scaling of some
> CPUs, particularly on laptops.
>
> 3 - the benchmark does not consider multithreading, very relevant now
> with multicore CPUs being the norm.
>
>
> Currently, there is no proper way to test how well will a computer
> perform with java applications, particularly java imaging apps like
> ImageJ.
>
> Eventually "we" (Stephan Preibisch, Johannes Schindelin, myself) will
> put together a new one that tests integer performance, floating-point
> performance, screen updating etc. separately.
>
> If anyone has or knows of such a benchmark already, I would appreciate
> email notice of it.
>
> Thanks again,
