I don't see why not - although I think your obsession with global stat reporting becomes less relevant with NG routing. The nice thing about NG is that the performance of modifications to the routing algorithm can be assessed locally. > Another diagnostic we could report globaly would be the average distance > between the reference points and the percentile > of outliers.

Specialization is just one way that NG routing might optomize for lower routing times - we shouldn't assume that its the only way.
