Well, this settles it for me

Ingo has said that the graph size was a user error, apologized and replaced them. Calling him «extraordinary clueless» without knowing the facts is hostile and unmotivated. Mistakes happen.

I agree that Ingos choice of test machine and benchmarks is telling when it comes to what his priorities are - he gets paid to create software that runs well on big systems, 8 CPUs probably looks small to him. No malice or stupidity involved, just a different perspective.

I think the ball is firmly in the BFS camps court. Con won't and shouldn't deal with this, but any random BFS user with a bit of time could sit down and redo a set of benchmarks that _he_ feels is more relevant and use as a counterpoint. Maybe compiling vim on an Atom CPU as well as some measurements of dropped frames in mplayer while compiling? Latencies and stuttering may be hard to measure, but it is far from impossible. Something better than «it feels better when i shake my mouse» is needed.
