I am loving seeing the error bars. The general public won't understand
them but a ton of other people do, and I can live with that.

and loving being able to click on the bars for more detail.

Aside from wanting:

A) the grade center/top  as per the mockup.
B) some more apparent indicator of the detailed graphs available (like
rotating between them on initial view)
C) the bloat tach front and center during the test
D) the different number of flows tests NOT broken up by "technology"
but by extremity, and calling out wifi VERY explicitly
(I can do a mock up of this if my prior description was not good enough)
E) World Peace

I'm pretty happy with this (and just in awe of how much work is
required to deploy a web browser based application)

I think these are max and min, unfiltered. There are not enough
samples in the default test (1/sec) to get higher resolution (although
I run the hires bloat test and would certainly prefer that a minimum
of 100ms sampling rate was used for all - 20ms would be better). But 2
and 98 if possible would be better than max/min, (with sufficient
samples).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-number_summary is fun because it
depends on a normally distributed model, which this stuff isn't. (I'd
like to see this for flent, also)

I would like to see the algorithm(s) for this documented sufficiently
somewhere... (and to finish duplicating the work in flent)

>I note that I have seen several times that both error bars (low and high) of the idle category seems to be displayed above the bar, like levitating above the bar. Could be display error on my end, but I guess the bars show something meaningful and I just do not know how to parse it correctly…
