I play games.. not benchmarks.
In your particular case maybe not...

However the only purpose benchmarks serve to me now is that they sometimes highlight when there is a critical problem in my system somewhere.

Point still stands, downloading a 600MB app then watching a few pretty demos, getting a number then posting it achieves nothing IMO because in the time spent doing that I could have derived a lot more satisfaction in other ways
