Log Message:
Initial import of dbench-1.3 into the NetBSD Packages Collection.

Taken from the dbench README file:

        Netbench is a terrible benchmark, but it's an "industry
        standard" and it's what is used in the press to rate windows
        fileservers like Samba and WindowsNT.

        In order for the development methodologies of the open source
        community to work we need to be able to run this benchmark in
        an environment that a bunch of us have access to.  We need the
        source to the benchmark so we can see what it does.  We need
        to be able to split it into pieces to look for individual
        bottlenecks.  In short, we need to open up netbench to the
        masses.

        To do this I have written three tools, dbench, tbench and
        smbtorture.  All three read a load description file called
        client.txt that was derived from a network sniffer dump of a
        real netbench run.  client.txt is about 4MB and describes the
        90 thousand operations that a netbench client does in a
        typical netbench run.  They parse client.txt and use it to
        produce the same load without having to buy a huge lab.  They
        can simulate any number of simultaneous clients.
