​IMHO, this is some of your most useful work.
Unfortunately most other articles are just graph porn with virtually no real world value, or announcements of a new kernel RC release.
I'm constantly amazed that you don't use your resources to write actually useful content that your readers can carryout themselves, such as how to optimize their own systems.
For example in-depth information on optimizing file systems for specific use cases and the performance impact that could potentially have.
Instead it's constant benchmarks showing default values between one kernel version or distro is 0.5% slower than another. Entirely boring and unactionable information.

I'm running a new build now just to see. It's an 8 core 1700X with 32 GB RAM and a btrfs disk array. It's a NAS mostly. It does report that PSI for IO has generally 2 processes stuck on IO (full IO stall). So it is getting a slowdown. But I'm not convinced it'd be worth putting the 20 GB of a complete build directory into tmpfs.

When I do a kernel compile for my system (ARM) the build directory only grows to 6 GB, so I can compile in tmpfs with 4 GB RAM and zram compression.

Always test the stock vanilla kernel from www.kernel.org compiled by yourself!
Or call these benchmarks "distribution benchmarks" instead of "linux/kernel benchmarks".
