It would be great if a RAM speed test could be included as well!

Hey there,
thanks for this script.

I've just encountered the problem, that the link provided to byte-unixbench returns a 404. Since googlecode is pretty much depricated and afaik will shut down in some time (?) it would be good to update the link to the github repository.

there are "Localhost" entries. should they get deleted?

This is regarding the test where you create a 25 mb file from urandom data to test Bzip speed (line 27-28)

    echo -n "Benching CPU. Bzipping 25MB file ... "
    dd if=/dev/urandom of=$tar_file bs=1024 count=25000 >>/dev/null 2>&1
    local tf=$( (/usr/bin/time -f "%es" tar cfj $tar_file.bz2 $tar_file) 2>&1 )

The compression time could vary based on the text content inside, even though the filesize is the same (compression algorithms are character based). I would try creating a file that has the same text content everywhere (let me know if I am missing anything)

Below is an example to create a series of numbers from 10m to 20m which creates an 86 mb file which will have same size, same text everywhere

seq 10000000 20000000 > seq.txt
