Can 'someone' please open a bounty on creation of a VM test case, f.e. with 
`vagrant` or `phoronix test suite`?

Oh yeah, this... i can clearly remember back then when on a then mid-
range machine with a lot of compiling (gentoo => 100% cpu �[U+1F923]�)
and filesystem work, VLC used to play an HD video stream even under
heavy load without any hiccups and micro-stuttering.. It was impressive
at the time.. and then.. it broke �[U+1F928]�
