This is excellent and much needed, Eric.

I can help with some TinyOS applications.

Hopefully the benchmarks can be packaged up with a simulator in order to 
get dynamic information as well as static.  I use Avrora (first google hit 
for "avrora") for everything, though it supports relatively few chips.
