Apart from uttering a strong "Mee, too!" I cannot help but to notice
strong paralleles to modern computer performs benchmarks, which now offer
a zillion of different mosaic metrics, incollapsible to a single scalar,
without losing all relevance to applied comparativistics.
This is not a superficial coincidence, imo.
But "faster than" is a mapping into the boolean domain... 42? Agreed.
