This document reports on computing performance issues on millimeter-wave, ALMA-sized data sets. This is the first step in monitoring the AIPS++ performance on realistic data sets which will be used for testing the off-line processing requirements. The results of this test are being used as a guide for future development, identifying the areas where work is most needed. Subsequent benchmark testing will be pursued via the ALMA benchmark program at http:shiraz.drao.nrc.ca:8080/AlmaDRPBenchmarks/.
