Benchmarking

Some time ago I had a plan to benchmark several OS'es for fun&learning. 
As it turned out, due to the lack of time the process was very slow. I 
intend to do DragonFlyBSD next, so I'm asking: what would be the best 
way to install it? Download the bootable ISO (from 
http://www.dragonflybsd.org/main/download.cgi) and then upgrade to 
-current via cvs? Is there a somewhat step-by-step walkthrough of the 
process since, as I understand it there is no install/setup program?

Also, if anybody has some performance-related patches, now would be a 
good time to commit them to CVS :)

(Current results are in 
http://geri.cc.fer.hr/~ivoras/osbench/osbench.sxc; Summary: FreeBSD 5.2 
is slower in synthetic tests but appears surprisingly better in a 
"real-world" test than 4.9).


What format is this file in? I just view the binary source when I browse 
it in Netscape 6.2.
