That's my understanding of the situation as well.

As a related aside, we have an intention to eventually capture some additional statistics about the implementations such as source lines of code, total number of commits, and possibly lines of code of libraries (where available).

These are just additional data points to use as the reader sees fit, but they may provide some insights. For example: (a) developer efficiency, assuming you are comfortable using sloc as a proxy for developer efficiency, which is admittedly a hotly debated matter; (b) commits are a proxy for the level of attention the particular test implementation has received in our project, since a test with only 1 commit may be unrefined and in need of tuning and a test with dozens of commits may be considered highly volatile; (c) where applicable, the performance impact of additional code, perhaps even as granular as a calculated average per-line cost in rps. The last point might be particularly illuminating for languages such as PHP.
