since:   Are you trying to measure what the absolute best
performance is for taskX or hardware-bitY?  Or, are you trying
to measure the typical experience of a user doing taskX?  For
the former, sure, enable the "performance" CPU governor, the
"performance" GPU governor, switch to the "noop" disk scheduler,
and run things at 100% utilisation. This is really only good for
marketing purposes, since the battery life is atrocious if you
actually run the phone/tablet like this.  For the latter, you
want to measure how things work when they "race-to-sleep",
how/if they bring extra cores online, etc. This is what people
really want to see, but that no one wants to publish. The
closest you get is in battery life tests.  Reply Parent Score: 4
