Isn't GC in some part defines application performance characteristics? Why would pure GC benchmarks be useful if an application with better GC performs worse th

  You don't seem to understand how performance benchmarking works. Unless you seek to optimize a single application, a benchmark is meant to be broadly representative of a wide category of applications whose performance is dominated by the component being benchmarked. For instance, an application which allocates no memory is a poor benchmark of the memory allocator, and it is also a poor general representative of program performance if most programs' performance is dominated by memory management.
