You're understanding is correct. The GlueHostProcessorOtherDescription:benchmark
is the total hepspec06 of the cluster, divided by the number of logical cpus in
that cluster. It therefore represents the average strength of one logical cpu.
AFAIKS, this is the same value that we would have put in the lookup table. Having
it available from the BDII means that we don't need to provide anything at all.
Thats the kind of changes I like!
