Phoronix is effectively the only performance CI for the Linux kernel. There were many regressions that were only discovered and bisected by Phoronix, including integer-factor performance regressions in fundamental components where you'd think big companies would find them immediately. But they don't, Phoronix does. Example: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Kernel-Bisecting-5.9-Ongoing https://www.phoronix.com/news/Kernel-Bisecting-5.9-Ongoing https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-59-fairness https://www.phoronix.com/review/linux-59-fairness I consider this type of work critical to FOSS becoming and staying good, and think it's commendable that Michael Larabel dedicates his life to it. As little as I like ads, it seems like a good way to fund this effort. There's also Phoronix Premium to remove ads (I bought this many years ago and am very happy with it).
