IIRC this has been done before and hasn't really been productive.  OTOH
I don't recall the details.

FreeBSD hasn't had a benchmarking guru since Kris Kennaway retired from
working on FreeBSD.  It would be really nice if Someone(TM) took up the
position.

I would have to educate myself on the whole topic, so I'm not a likely
nominee.

Michael has reached out off-list (thanks!) If anyone else is interested,
I'd be happy to create a dedicated IRC channel on freenode to widen and
focus the freebsd performance discussion net and doc any outcomes/notes in
the FreeBSD Wiki.
