No, not particularly.

This is something I'd like help on, and it doesn't really need a lot of expertise. Basically the part that could use some work would be a matter of improving the actual measurements (e.g. adding min/avg runtime for certain interesting calls, and throughput in MB/sec for various usage patterns, etc. where it makes sense, rather than just arbitrary runtimes with no context) and automating the process of testing sizes and speeds.
