A couple of thoughts related also to your message in the audit trail of 
libstdc++/9876: perhaps we should have a doc describing the performance 
tracking effort and pointing out in detail some current inadequacies, 
loosely inspired by:

    http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/
    http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/optimize.html

(however, at variance with the compiler we also provide tools to measure 
the actual runtime performance ;)
