If all you're interested in is winning benchmarks, I can provide you with patched versions of glibc and bash (where most functions are replaced by NOOP), which would beat all your systems hands down
Like you said yourself, compare like with like
So... you're agreeing that we should use UTF-8? Seems sensible, anyhow. One question. I can set LANG to en_US.UTF-8, but I would like to have the test report include the language setting to confirm that it is set right. Like, if a system doesn't support en_US.UTF-8 for some reason, I want to know that it's not running a fair test. So how can I tell what the system is really using? For example, if I set LANG to "sfsfgsfdg", then "locale" tells me I'm using "sfsfgsfdg", but it actually defaults back to POSIX, and I get the wrong scores again. The command locale -a | grep $LANG should tell me whether the locale is installed, but doesn't, because it reports the name in a different format! Ideas?
