The general idea of coming up with a way to benchmark these things is excellent and the OP is a worthy effort to get started.
Thanks for that effort.
Hopefully somebody can set up such a test using our code base.
Unfortunately we're launching two real-time blockchains this month (BitShares and PeerTracks' MUSE) so we're a bit busy.
But we'll be keeping tabs on how this goes.
Thanks
Stan
Seeing as most of the speculation regarding this topic is between eMunie and Bitshares, I'm sure the OP would make an exception and perhaps alter the test dates to suit you should you want to participate but unable due to your current workload.
