Hi, Sergey,

thanks for the patch! See  my comments.

Sergey

This patch adjusts the aforementioned test to use the benchmark
framework introduced before. The default arguments are adjusted
according to the <PARAM_x86.txt> file. The arguments to the script still
can be provided in the command line run.
