Sorry, I don't have access to a Cray - at least not for the type
of multiuser workloads I like to run, hoping that they are reasonable
characterizations. Can I borrow one of yours, Eugene?

Seriously, use whatever relative performance measure you want,
as long as you (1) state what machine, configuration, etc. it is,
and (2) print the absolute numbers in the appendix to your performance
report.

I always felt that disclaimers were silly and affected, but there are people
who let themselves be affected by silly things, so: my opinions are my own,
and not the opinions of my employer, or any other organisation with which I am
affiliated. I indicate my employer only so that other people may account for
any possible bias I may have towards my employer's products or systems.
