XcodeBenchmark

XcodeBenchmark measures Mac performance in Xcode by compiling a relatively large codebase.

The project has already saved thousands of dollars for developers and companies when they purchase or upgrade their Macs and I believe these results will help you make the right cost/performance choice.
