Are zlib and tsf redundant..?

[sparker-arm]

Hi,

Sorry, I haven't followed the development of the suite. I just look a really quick look at the profile for both these benchmarks and I was wondering what they're supposed to be demonstrating, performance wise?

It looks like the hot jitted code for both does little more than load a byte, perform some simple arithmetic compare and/or store the result. TSF is at least larger than zlib, but neither of them look 'interesting' from a code generation point of view.

Do they test browsers in a way in some other way?

Thanks!

EDIT: sqlite3 also looks similar.
