Is anyone else annoyed with the terrible data visualisations?
Too many data points for a bar chart, the colours are far too close together, the colours are easily confused by red-green colourblind users, the colours rotate all the way back to the same yellow/orange/red causing duplicates, and neither the bars nor the colours are in any meaningful kind of order!
Then the table shows nanoseconds to 3-digits of fractional precision, which is insane because no modern CPU has clock speeds above 6 Ghz, which is 1/6th of a nanosecond. There is no point showing 1/1000th of a nanosecond!
This is just begging to be a pivot-table, but that's a rare sight outside of the finance department.
Better yet, show clocks-per-byte at different sizes, which is the meaningful number developers are interested in.
Even better yet, take measurements at many more sizes and compute a fit to estimate the fixed overhead (y-intercept) and the clocks-per-byte (slope) and show only those.
