GSFactor 0.5
------------

GSFactor benchmarks the graphic functions of the GNUstep DPS backend system. 
It's interesting to see how the different categories perform on different 
graphic and bus systems.

GSFactor is an artificial benchmark originated from NXFactor. It tests many 
different functions of the window server which all have the same weight for 
the calculation of the mean value, called GSFactor.

All values have originally been normalized to the reference machine running NEXTSTEP 3.x,  a NeXT cube with the following configuration: 

			25MHz 68040
			28MB RAM
			2 bit Grayscale Video 
	
Due to various changes in the benchmark itself and the different DPS system, 
the values you will get can't really be compared with NEXTSTEP values, but it
should give you an idea.
