Lies, damned lies, statistics and benchmarks, worsening in order of 
naming.

With that out of the way, why not just use an application benchmark that 
is close to the sort of work you will be putting the target machine to?  
E.g. a Samba benchmark for file serving applications, a DB benchmark 
for a database system, Web benchmark for a web server, SPEC for compute 
servers, etc?

A benchmark out of context of the application is meaningless IMO.
