In https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-06/msg00032.html Raja
provided the results for the existing benchmark. 

So we have meet your and the community requirement.

Ondřej Bílka is asserting that not good enough based based on his
opinion that the algorithm is flawed. But he has not provide a benchmark
that we can use to verify this.

Since we do not understand what the problem is, we can not provide a new
benchmark.

If Ondřej Bílka believes there is a problem that only he understands
then the onus is on him to provide the appropriate benchmark.
