@frandallfarmer Technically extremely complicated, as they actively write code to prevent scraping and provide no export tools. Unless there is a solid business hosting lead, or a developer who wants to take it on pro bono, not likely to happen

SPECint2006 -- 36.93 --> 44.92 is about 20% better
Speedometer2 -- 90 --> 125 is 38% better
That is nearly 2x what SPECint would predict.
