Hi Terry, all, the proposed hugin Test Suite for Phoronix solves a totally different challenge: Not to make sure hugin works, but to identify hardware it works with.
So one can purchase hardware (e.g. video card) that is known to work. And makes sense. (more RAM vs. more expensive video card) Delivering known performance for the price. Actually I would like to suggest to add an option to hugin to automatically ask the user to run the Phoronix Test Suite to collect data anonymously about hardware performance.
