There is a performance graphing tool driven off a database
of results.  See:

  http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/cgi-bin/HINT/hint.pl

I concur about HINT.  I think it is particularly good at 
comparing the performance differences resulting from, for
example, the different cache hierarchy choices on the PPro200 
and the P-II.
