I think it's adequate for the things I've used the benchmarks for:
1. Comparing hash performance between machines.
2. Comparing two implementations of the same hash function, both running on the same machine.
3. Comparing two different hash functions, both running on the same machine.
How do you use benchmark figures?

Isn't there a better metric available? CPU cycles per bit or something?
