I'm interested in a full relbench comparison (with -v) as well as some studies using a couple specific formats and real use. I like the idea of X32 (where applicable). Also, it would be cool to have a make target ready before anyone asks.

Thanks, I'll try that. There doesn't seem to be any ready-made live usb image available yet. An infinite number of clueless morons have polluted google over the years with references to x32 that are actually about ia32. Or maybe they are not really to blame, maybe the X32 name was just a poor choice in this aspect.
Anyway, it looks like we could expect X32 to become commonly available RSN.
