What about support by hardware?
For good benchmarking report need:

1. Hardware (with KVM access)
2. People(s) do benchmark
3. Advocacy
4. Time for this
5. Reputation (only time create this).

I am have some expirense with performance advocacing and improvement,
but don't have hardware for test and advocacy skils.
