      My TPC knowledge is a bit dated, so take it with a grain of salt.   
      
      First of all, make sure you are looking for the right benchmark for the   
   type of processing you are interested in.  For example, TPC-C is a benchmark   
   that is indicative primarily of rapid transaction processing.  There are   
   other benchmarks for workloads that are more DSS-intensive (TPC-H or TPC-D)   
   or web-intensive (TPC-W).   
      
      Second, I don't know of any publicly available TPC-C kits.  It is my   
   understanding that the source code used for TPC-C benchmark applications are   
   closely-guarded secrets, since the application code itself might contain   
   code that accounts for significant performance improvements.
