> I think a lot of people would benefit from an explanation of the performance characteristics of the program. For sure! And that's way beyond the modest aims of the benchmarks game. > People regularly misinterpret benchmarks … From what I can tell, you as the maintainer have done very little to address that. Seems to me that misinterpretation is not something that is effectively addressed by website content; it's something that is effectively addressed by responding to what people say when they discuss benchmarks in forums like HN and proggit and … one person at a time. > … you can just respond and tell me to go do it. I think that's a cheap response… It isn't intended as a brush-off. otoh as you show on proggit, it's when you "Just sit down and actually try to plan out what you would do." that you start to understand what is involved. otoh I'd like to see others do all that stuff the benchmarks game does not do, in whatever way they choose https://pybenchmarks.org/ https://pybenchmarks.org/
