Why no Whetstone benchmark for calculators
I have been searching around for some calculator benchmarks, and have been surprised that none of them are listing a Whetstone result - this was quite a common benchmark for PC's at one time.

I am wondering why?

Is it because calculators are so different to PC's that such results are not considered useful?
Is it because standard C (etc.) Source cannot be used?

I have produced a PPL interpretation of the Whetstone benchmark, and it seems to be simple enough to program on a calculator (though it is not verified - can anyone suggest where I can find correct outputs listed, rather than timings?)
