Good idea. Maybe this page would be a nice place:

https://yade-dem.org/wiki/Multicore_Performance

There is also one thing I am missing on the wiki. What about  
comparison of different cpus/hardware-combinations? We could put one  
or two benchmark scripts in the examples folder. Users can follow  
instructions and provide benchmark results of the hardware they are  
using. Results will be published on the wiki. What do you think about  
that?
