Initial thoughts.:
We will probably create a new benchmark for this new version if the performance difference is too big. From a programmers point better coding and thus generating a performance boost is one thing. For a database like HWBOT this is an utter nitemare. Plz provide asap a test version so we can see how it scales versus the previous y-cruncher.
If you want to expose new settings plz make them available to everyone via a gui, thus not only for the software wiz kids so everybody can try them out.
Any thoughts on other predefined bench settings like 2b, 6b and 12b?
