Hi, Does someone has a contact there? It would be nicer to have these results combined with what we pushed on qa.php.net as well. Cheers, Pierre

Thought about that as well, results per mail aren't that useful, especially as they're badly formatted for me in GMail (no fixed font). A graph visualizing those numbers would be nice. Regards, Niklas

Hi Guys, We are glad that our small ticking spam start to be observed :) ! We would like to offer valuable information to the community related to performance trends of the PHP project on Intel platforms based on daily builds and we are open for suggestions for making these results relevant. We chose to share our numbers as plain text mails for easily seeing the summary snapshots on discussion lists without the need of other clicks. Everybody agrees that plain text is ugly and, yes, you need to have fixed font in place for having the table formatted correctly. Let’s discuss a better way of doing; integration with qa.php.net is possible if we find the right interface for sharing data in an automated way. Normally <lp@lists.01.org> should be the official entry for feedbacks and requests but, unfortunately, it is not yet operational, so I will be your direct contact as I am part of the team which deploys this project. Kind regards, Bogdan

Hi Bogdan, I think absolute numbers (instead of a %-change) would be better suited for visualizing performance over time. Regards, Niklas

I agree on using absolute numbers. With percentages it is not immediately obvious whether the change was good or bad. Including the build options would be good. Chris -- http://twitter.com/ghrd
