The "Benchmarks" section links to complete disclosure information about
benchmarks run by SPEC--a neutral 3rd party. The amount of detail
needed to properly describe a proper database benchmark is very large,
so it's better to link to all of the details than to potentially
misrepresent the facts by displaying only part of them. And it's not
clear how much of that data related to those it would be appropriate for
our Wiki to display a summary of too; it's SPEC's data, not ours.
