It really depends on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to test
out a bunch of complicated new algorithms, just to see if they work at
all, and don't care about scalability, you care much more about ease of
development than about run-time performance (as long as performance is
above a reasonable minimum).

I think the idea of having a bunch of different metrics is a very good
one, so that people can focus on the metrics that they care about for
their particular situation.

One other general question: Will you be able to repeat your testing as
controllers come and go (and change)?
