None whatsoever. Waste of time.
Cons
XL-R8R is no longer supported by FutureMark. Why is it still on Cnet.download.com?

An old-school app that's worth the download

Pros
Though it's been deadware forsome time, XL-R8R is worth the download b/c the demo is sweet enough to leave you with a good aftertaste. Finnish game developer Remedy created this superb light and music show when folks were running PIIIs with Win98.
Cons
Deadware, online service component no longer functional

Awful, doesn't work, waste of time
