Thanks for the explanation. I agree with RESOLVED/INVALID.

Phoronix is using these benchmarks to compare distinct systems. As the default
(non-clock_gettime) results are unitless and do not transfer from one CPU to
another, Phoronix's comparisons of distinct systems are invalid.

Phoronix comparisons would be valid if the benchmarks were configured to a
common unit of measurement: CPU time in seconds or nanoseconds.
