Aside from being a 404 until I remove the 'HAEN1601', that sort of
benchmarking really doesn't do anything to test the speeds of the things =
I
care about... for example, the combinations of immediate/[C]VA primitives=
,
stencil buffers (both the speed of drawing stuff into a stencil buffer, a=
nd
the speed of drawing stuff with a stencil test - specifically, shadow
volumes), texture types, and so on.  The specific benchmark I'd want to
write would specifically test the various combinations of features of
things I use in my research engine. :)  I wasn't thinking in terms of a
general benchmark, in any case.
