I agree entirely that Apple's NDA is barely enforced. They don't put anything really special in the previews. They know anyone with $100 can see it, and that the rumor sites will get "emails from anonymous developers" with any interesting specifics not mentioned publicly by Apple.
(In fact, I read a theory somewhere that the NDA is really just about corporate competitive advantage for some legal reason. I forget what it was; it might have been something with the date a technology becomes public re: patent law.)
That said, more than almost anything else, I'd be wary about posting benchmarks. Performance is subject to change wildly between the developer betas and the final product. It could get better with optimizations and taking out debug code; it could get worse if some optimizations are found to be unstable.
If it was just, "Hey, this is awesome! They've implemented through OpenGL 4.1 and their implemenation is significantly faster across all OGL versions!" I'd be less worried. I can imagine a graphics programmer getting twitchy about early numbers.
