..> `Averaging' benchmarks using the arithmetic or geometric mean Whatever you do, you shouldn't combine benchmarks without weight factors proportional to the importance of the jobs characterized by the benchmark to you. You can use any weights in any type of characteristic you want, but not all are meaningful. For example, if throughput is what you want to optimize, and your weights are the percentage of your job mix that is characterized by each benchmark, then a linearly weighted arithmetic mean is the average to use. That, of course, assumes that there are no interactions between jobs. Andy "Krazy" Glew. Gould CSD-Urbana. USEnet: ihnp4!uiucdcs!ccvaxa!aglew 1101 E.
