+This benchmark utility is used to determine how the processor,
+its caches and coprocessors influence overall system performance.
+Its measurements can indicate problems with the processor subsystem
+and (since the processor is a major influence on overall system
+system performance) give us an idea of how well a given system will
+perform.
