How do the BSD and proprietary kernel developers evaluate
their VMs?

Proper statistics inside their VM, combined with some
basic workload testing.

Most importantly, they don't seem to hang themselves
on benchmarks. Benchmarks can be won by finetuning
whatever you have but measuring a new basis (still
without tuning) by benchmarking it just doesn't work.

As I recall, Matt likes to talk about load counts on heavily loaded
mail servers.
