The files I have been using since October 1994 are in
ftp.maths.bath.ac.uk:pub/dream/documentation/benchmarks/...

Yes this is a long time ago and machines are much faster, and so some
of these tests may seem too small.  The history is that some peopel
kept asking about relative performance, and after a number of
"wouldn't it me nice to have some benchmarks" and nothing happening, I
created this small set from files distributed from MIT.  If anyone
wishes to take them over, propose a new set, and collect figures, they
are most welcome.
