I've found the benchmark it's using: it runs tiobench from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tiobench/ with the parameters 

-f 16, 64, 128, 256
-t 4, 8, 16, 32

It's another project that for some reason doesn't produce releases -
the last version was back in 2002. If someone's re-running the
benchmark it might be better to use the version from cvs.
