We can work on build option documentation. Most probably we will offer a link on the 01.org containing details on the environment configuration. Concerning absolute numbers I am afraid it will be difficult to publish them in this way. Our intention is to allow you to see progresses trend in the context of Zend PHP project only. We would like to avoid the temptation to use the absolute numbers for comparisons with other projects; they might be misleading and could drive to wrong conclusions if they are removed from the context. If the PHP baseline is relevant, the fact you see absolute numbers or percents should not make a real difference. We chose php-7.0.0beta1 in a somehow subjective way as they are no official PHP7 releases yet but we can take a PHP5.x release baseline if it looks more relevant. Kind Regards, Bogdan
