IIRC this has been done before and hasn't really been productive.  OTOH
I don't recall the details.

FreeBSD hasn't had a benchmarking guru since Kris Kennaway retired from
working on FreeBSD.  It would be really nice if Someone(TM) took up the
position.

I would have to educate myself on the whole topic, so I'm not a likely
nominee.
