For what it's worth, the current benchmarks are not very good/useful IMO and they haven't been touched in years. But they might contain some good ideas for writing new/better ones and having the code permissively licensed makes it easy to reuse snippets without having to worry about license problems. I'd love to see a new framework for measuring performance of libc interfaces that are performance-relevant. Rich
