I'd prefer if the benchmarks added to the benchmarking page all used the
same collection/calculation method :). It's listed on the page there,
so you can check your method compares to the rest of the data before adding.

Any other info you care to send will need to go to squid-dev (don't mind
the moderation message, its only a once-off approval for anti-spam measure).
