That's where it gets weird: the exact same code (for example John Keith's code above), running on different platforms would give you different scores. His code is so standard, it can run on an old 48G, the rubber keyed 49g, on a 50g and then newRPL on a 50g or even newRPL on a Prime G1. All giving you different speeds and different scores for the exact same algorithm... I'm glad I'm not the judge :-)
