I know Slater Wold usually has some very fast hardware, so he might have something to benchmark against. Perhaps a uniform series of tests can be created, and then run on many different systems so that we can create a performance table. One suggestion would be to set crafty to 100 million nodes on a dozen positions or so, and we could see who is fastest to target. Various commercial benchmarks will also be interesting (Fritzmark, etc.) Nature of the positions and available tablebase files will be a consideration, of course.
