pybench is not abandoned. However, it only gets an addition now and then. 
More importantly, it's a set of low-level microbenchmarks designed to 
stress the execution cost of certain primitives. It won't give you the 
answer to any high-level questions.

In the SVN sandbox (*) you'll find a couple of other benchmarks:
- stringbench, stressing string operations
- iobench, stressing common file I/O operations
- ccbench, trying to measure interpreter efficiency in the face of multi-
threaded workloads
