Phoronix also tends to benchmark in the "dumb but obvious" way - just follow the instructions, don't take the time to understand it in depth and tweak obsessively until it's as good as it's going to get. This is useful, because it exposes cases where something is genuinely useful once tweaked into shape, but where the defaults are bad and need fixing.

And Phoronix is doing something that we like in science - endurance. They keep doing benchmarks and creating a lot of data, with consistency. It will be useful someday, and we can see long term trends.
