The "Benchmarks" section links to complete disclosure information about 
benchmarks run by SPEC--a neutral 3rd party.  The amount of detail 
needed to properly describe a proper database benchmark is very large, 
so it's better to link to all of the details than to potentially 
misrepresent the facts by displaying only part of them.  And it's not 
clear how much of that data related to those it would be appropriate for 
our Wiki to display a summary of too; it's SPEC's data, not ours.
