I don't know any real benchmark currently that isn't fairly involved to
set up.  As in, week-long debugging session.  I wish it were different,
but to date nobody is available to put in the kind of work required to
have credible benchmarks which are relatively portable.

DBT2 is a bit more stable than DBT5, though, so you might have a better
time with it.
