This is very relevant for compiler optimization and video codecs as well - both involve testing changes on lots of small benchmarks. Almost any change will hurt some benchmarks and help others. Maybe one benchmark improves a lot while causi

His sentence was severe in part because he fell under the "kingping statute". This is based on the amount of drug trade he facilitated, the amount of money he made, and the actions he took as an "organizer". The hits did
