The skia code is also hold in the chromium project. I used chromium web browser to check the skia performance with some browser benchmarks.

I think pixman is also a good candidate for skia to benchmark toolchain.

hi Michael,

Yes, don't use autotool inside skia package.

The skia maintainer, Mike Reed, made two branches: one is hosted in
Google Code, and another is
inside Android source tree:
   http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/skia.git;a=summary

I would suggest to use the later.

Also, here is my previous testing results:
