The benchmarks here have a slight flaw in that the main hardware
components tested are not given. About the only thing I can see
regarding these tests is what processor they run on. Displaying
network performance tests without showing the network card or io
tests without showing the disk controller seems rather odd. I guess
it comes down to requesting a full hardware rundown. If this is
displayed someplace on the site or elsewhere please provide the link.
Unless the hardware was changed, this is not particularly relevant.
It's good testing to change only one thing, so you know that's what
caused the change in results.
The benchmarks surely says something about the kernel regardless of
wether they specify hardware. But if you want performance regressions
fixed, then the hardware list is necessary. It is interesting to know
wether the test machine used SCSI or IDE for IO for example, for those
systems get different patches. One may regress while another improves.
Similiar for all the different network adapter drivers and so on.
