The Neal Nelson Business Benchmark is an industry-standard benchmark which is used to evaluate the performance of UNIX computer systems. The Business Benchmark purports to give the user an idea of the performance of the machine under real business UNIX workloads. In this article we will show that the Business Benchmark stresses few components of the system with very simple tests. As such it is more suited as a component level benchmark or users who want to focus on the performance of a particular aspect of the system, rather then a system-level UNIX benchmark representative of commercial applications.
