Are you fucking kidding? They call the site Moronix for a good reason.
That benchmark suite is a fucking joke. There are one or two benchmarks that make sense, but it's mostly a collection of crap glued together with scripts.
It combines a pile of microkernels and unrealistic application benchmarks.
Also the fact that the author thinks that some of those tests should be included says volumes about his technical expertise.
