really enjoyed this. question: when benchmarking typesetting systems, how do you normalize for 'design intent' vs algorithmic optimization (eg manual kerning/ligature choices)? are you comparing them on the same input markup with default settings, or tuning each system to best effort? the tuning knob count can swamp raw perf.
