I have a fair amount of experience with evaluating/analysing 
software and hardware performance, and have accumulated my 
share of "common wisdom" in the oral tradition.  What I need
now is some sources of printed documents, preferably written
by established authorities (other than myself), that I can use
as bludgeons on people who only accept that sort of thing as
advice.  That is to say, I know some people who are using bad
approaches, but I haven't much hope that they'd listen to me if
I told them so.  So what I'm looking for is books and magazine
articles on benchmarks and performance analysis.  I'll be 
putting together a bibliography, so anyone who wants it should
drop me a line and when it's mostly done I'll send it out.
By the same token, if you have any suggestions for sources,
or anything you've written or publicly delivered at a seminar,
by all means tell me!
