Everybody mentions this, and what's great is that it is a pretty natural solution to a lot of problems. I remember coming up with a version of it while writing an optimized prime-sieve[1], and was surprised when I later learned that it

I would have preferred to see more of the underlying data from these benchmarks, but it sounds like they've been pretty thorough in this investigation. I'm especially impressed they tested on such a wide range of hardware, not eve

Even internally at Google, a large number of employees are stuck in this situation and have pushed for it to be fixed for years, but AFAIK they are no closer to actually getting anything fixed.
