Indeed.  On that subject there was some discussion at Linaro Connect
last week about work (being done outside Linaro, not sure how public it
is at this point) to pull together the current state of the art into a
Docker container image which people can use for benchmarking and as a
reference for how to pull things together.  That should help with the
analysis, it'll at least make it easier for other people to reproduce
any benchmarking results.
