[Benchmarking] Some new raster benchmarks

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello Chris,

Excellent to see Erdas back in the benchmarking game.  For the 2009 
exercise, (you might not be aware of this) I was talking with Shawn 
Owston from the Erdas Apollo team, and he seemed interested in 
participating; however after not hearing from Erdas for a while he 
decided to publicly put down the exercise, blasting the participants in 
a public blog instead[1], yet never contacted the benchmarking 
organizers or email list.  It's unfortunate and I'm hoping we can all 
put that experience behind us.

We would be more than happy to have a full commitment from Erdas for the 
2010 exercise.  You can find some initial notes on the 2010 exercise at 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Benchmarking_2010 Please let me know if Erdas 
is willing to participate in the 2010 exercise, the more participants 
the better! :)

thanks.
