This tests are interesting but they may depends on the hardware and the 
OS your are using.
Is it possible to describe
1- the different kind of hardware your are using ?
2- the OS you use on each plateform ?
3- the compile option you use to the different compilers ?

Giving an access to the source code and even better making it GPL could 
helps other to compare their host with your results or just had some other.
Is it possible to GPLized your code ?
