Run my compilation on a CPU, note down the time it took and the Geekbench score for that CPU. Run the compilation on another CPU, note down the time it took and the Geekbench score for that CPU. Now look at the ratios — if Geekbench scores implied the faster CPU was, say, 20% faster, is my compilation 20% faster? I'm looking at my notes and without digging too much, I can see two reasonably recent cases: 30% faster compilation (Geekbench said 30%), and another one: 40% faster compilation (Geekbench said 38%). So yes, I do consider Geekbench to be a very reliable indicator of performance.
