In general, I like the test categories you outline.
I have a few minor suggestions:

  Data Structures
-     Matrix Multiplication

+ Algorithms and Numerical
+     Heapsort
+     Matrix Multiplication
+     Random Number Generator
+     Sieve of Eratosthenes

+ Integrated Benchmarks (Real World Benchmarks?)
+     Count Lines/Words/Chars
+     Reverse A File
+     Simple TCP/IP Server
+     Spell Checker
+     Statistical Moments
+     Sum a Column of Integers
+     Word Frequency

  Miscellaneous
-     Heapsort
-     Simple TCP/IP Server
      Hello World
-     Statistical Moments
      Plugin Test
-     Random Number Generator
-     Reverse A File
-     Sieve of Eratosthenes
-     Spell Checker
-     Sum a Column of Integers
-     Count Lines/Words/Chars
-     Word Frequency
 
Maybe we should really have two larger categories: 
"Microbenchmarks", which would contain things like
data structures, string manipulation, etc., and
"Integrated Benchmarks" which could eventually be
further subdivided into "Text Processing",
"Networking" or "Interprocess Communication", and so
forth...

What do you think?
