    How good is the compression ratio with xz?

With some of the other test profiles, they break too from time to time due to Valve either changing some library paths, etc. At least with traces don't have to worry about running benchmarks through this big mess caused by Steam.
    Steam sucks so much :-(

    It may be a bit of work, but for those games already supported by the pts, it would be interesting if you did an analysis of the behavior of the trace vs the real game.

    Comparing the cpu and fps of the real demo vs the trace. This way at least we could get some insights on how similar (or dissimilar) it behaves. For instance, I would be expecting a bigger cpu usage on the original game vs the trance. But what about the gpu? Does it get similar fps? Does it also slow down in graphics-intensive parts? I'd expect a top-of-the-line cpu to present similar performance for traces and the real game, but a lower spec cpu to favor the traces.

    Much more important, you will need to actually *USE* the new benchmarks: currently there are plenty of them (like CS:GO) which you used just once.

    I've worked with the developers on that.... Right now there's a bug on their end and was supposed to be fixed in the next update. That was a few weeks ago but haven't heard / checked to see if they pushed any new update recently.

    I'd be interested in just a grid of various games running on various cards/drivers and a quick "working/not working" report. Performance testing would be a bonus, but I'd like to know if there are particular cards to avoid.
