GCC tends to be a filesystem benchmark on the side, so the OS and SSD matter a lot.
Gimp and Firefox benchmarks are likely affected by UI library/API differences.
I propose ramdisk-only from-scratch compilation of a large Rust project in a loop. For AC you can measure power use externally, for battery I don't know if there's anything better than self-reported µAh/µWh counters.
