I don't think this would be a good way of tracking the performance accurately. I
won't be able to run this program 24 hours per day on this machine.. and if
comparing it to a slower machine which is running 24 hours per day wouldn't be
great for testing... as one would assume the slower machine is faster due to it
doing more blocks per day. The best way IMHO is to just maintain a "perfthash 8"
(or 7) benchmark result list and ask everyone on the list to submit.. that way
you can see which computers are the fastest accurately.

Plus, everyone else has a head start on me on the list.. :)
