Do you suppose you could get it to use Phoronix Test Suite so
we can start to have measurable stats? We could do the same thing for any VM
software - even
the ones that don't allow publishing stats in the EULA...

I'm also wondering if we should do the whole test suite or a subset.
Here is the list of tests..
