Tom Olson wrote a fantastic series of blogs about performance metrics and how to interpret them. His blog about triangles per second pretty much changed the industry. Very quickly, companies had to stop talking nonsense about triangles per second in any way being a useful metric. Now, along comes this ground-breaking serious technology research, and the whole comparison basis and industry-standard metric of uselessness becomes challenged. What shall we do? As useful as:
- an umbrella in the desert?
- a concrete lifebelt?
- a glass hammer?
