[Off Topic] What do you mean by "non-scientific" - are you thinking of specific methodological objections? - are you simply being dismissive? If you have specific methodological objections then you are welcome to post those on the discussion forum: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/faq.php#aliothid If you are simply being dismissive then someone should ask - have you looked at that website this year? - where are the alternative "scientific" benchmarks? Whether or not "only really few people ... really understand what each micro-benchmark is really measuring" seems to depend entirely on what "/really/ understand" and "/really/ measuring" mean - which you don't explain. And if we just take that as given and somehow understood, it's still no more than a vague suggestion that this is somehow "a bad thing" - you don't explain what significant problems will result.
