Personally, I'd be more interesting in more information about the
methodology and the raw data.

I'm busy going through and optimising Squid to, amusingly, have
slightly Varnish-like internals. Having raw data and methodology both
helps me see whether the tests are valid, figure out why the results
are different, and helps me know when my work is on the right track.
