I usually just run gtkperf. I haven't tried PTS yet but it's hard for me to trust anything that comes out of Phoronix.

Please explain ?

Phoronix is just really unprofessional and unreliable as a media outlet. They constantly post information that is first of all, absolutely atrociously, sometimes incomprehensibly written, and secondly often inaccurate and misrepresentative. They also use amateur reporting practices and lack standards, as we see with their Steam reporting and sending lots of traffic to Valve FTP servers not intended for public usage (for one example).

Obviously this does not necessarily reflect directly on their software, but I think it's wise to take anything from Phoronix with a grain of salt.
