Then you ran them, I assume? Could you show the output here that you got?

Certainly not, but they do provide a certain variety of workloads that
reduce the likelihood of not spotting a regression that this change might

Note that people seem to be rather in favour of your proposed change. If
you can show that there are no visible drawbacks, one of them will most
likely apply it for you.
