The website and benchmarking slave talk to a PostgreSQL database. It's 
definitely possible and part of the design to have multiple computers 
participating in a distributed fashion, although it's also possible to 
run the setup locally and privately for more ad-hoc testing purposes.

I think it's best if participating machines supply data regularly for an 
extended period of time. Single or infrequent data points for a specific 
configuration don't make much sense. We need to compare apples to apples.
