Thanks for sharing, very informative, interesting!  If I’m reading the numbers 
correctly, though, it’s not making complete sense (e.g., f repeatedly slower 
than g).  Any explanation?

One point I see is that there’s not enough work.  Not just model complexity, 
but number of rays.  I suggest using -s1024 going forward, which not just 
quadruples the load and is a common render size, but also converts to a 
millions of rays per second metric more directly.  

For your "Other metrics" table at the end, be wary of making assumptions (e.g., 
basing an array size anywhere near the max segs or regions in a partition 
values) because our sample geometry are not representative of “real" models.  
They’re mostly tiny demos.

Production models tend to have an order of magnitude or two more regions (in 
the 5k-50k ballpark).  If you made a script to generate that table, I’d be 
happy to run it on some real assets for comparison.

Cheers!
Sean
