IMHO, it would be good to have one exactly as Karl has. By all means have others. What would be good is if we could have the exact same one Mathematica uses, but doing that without Wolfram Research's permission could be a breach of copyright. (I'm not really sure on that matter, since we would not by copying any code, just implementing a test they do. But I'm not a lawyer). It would however make for an interesting email to WRI. Asking if they would mind us implementing a benchmark in Sage which does the exact same things as that in Mathematica 7. If they decline, that fact could be added to the Sage web page too. If they agree, implement that one too. I bet if WRI got such a request, they would have a few discussions internally about whether to grant permission or not. Of course, even if they did agree, you can bet the next version of Mathematica would have in its benchmark something Sage can't do!
