So what you are saying is, you would not want to see the default configuration, as found in a clean install, to be benchmarked. You want specific changes to that configuration for better performance.
Is that right? Am I reading you correctly?
If so, *that is optimizing the system*.
It's not. Let's use a car analogy (as usual). Say we want to compare two car models from different manufacturers. We get car A from one vendor and car B from another. Let's say one line in the table is supposed to be weight of the car. Car A comes with extra set of winter wheels, roof bike holder and full tank as a bonus while car B comes without any of that and even without a reserve wheel and a wrench. Mr. Larabel - and apparently also you - would just weight both cars as they came and call that "fair". I, on the other hand, would try to make the conditions - as equal as possible by taking the bonus equipment out before weighting both cars (or leaving the same amount of equipment in both). What you advocate for would be equivalent to punishing the vendor who provides their customer a rooftop box by leaving it on when measuring maximum speed and fuel consumption. Is it "fair"? Not in my dictionary.
How else would you do it? Seriously. I have worked for some 15 different computer magazines and websites in Britain, Germany, America and other countries. I used to be the editor of Heise UK, for example. This is how Heise works.
