Subj : SM: Performance testing script

I'm getting close to the actual, believe-it-or-not release of my game 
engine with SM.  So, I'm doing the last minute performance tuning.  
While I'm not playing with the code itself, I am playing with gcc 
optimizations.  I've created a little test app that runs the same script 
(a lot of loops in loops) over and over and averages out the results, so 
I can test each compile I try.

SM seems *really* antzy about certain optimizations.  Some really slow 
it down, others speed it up slighty (optimizations are always this type 
all always a guessing game.)

I'm thinking my test script probably doesn't do the engine, as a whole, 
a lot of justice, though it is long running (about 6 seconds.)  I was 
just wondering if there was a script in the test suite somewhere that 
covers as much ground as possible so I could use it for my testing.
