Sure, I understand.. hopefully they would be the same across the board, |
| 20 |
so that would induce a kind of consistent baseline, however I'm sure |
| 21 |
they differ across ebuilds of the same software |

Yea, good point again.. it's not supposed to be a be-all-and-end-all, |

Cool! It'd be great to have standardisation... everyone singing from the |
| 44 |
same benchmark script ;) |

Yea, don't get me wrong I agree wholey with you, was just thinking about |
