  • Being able to know which ones you can cross out from the start because they won't be fast enough.

  • Sometimes we trust other people to be the experts on figuring out what scalers are the best or even worth considering. Not everybody has dozens of hours to spend trying lots of combinations of settings across a wide variety of samples. They just want something that is most likely to look best on typical content considering their hardware.

There are tons of reasons why having easily accessible performance data for various option combinations is a very good idea. I suspect it would also help madshi know what is worth optimizing.
