FWIW I've pushed slightly reworked scripts and results - there are
results from two machines - xeon and i5. Xeon is mostly the same as
before, with some minor fixes, while i5 is does not allow clauses
referencing the same column twice (per discussion in this thread).

I think there was a bug in the original plot script, combining incorrect
data series in some cases, causing (at least) some of the strange
patterns mentioned.

I've also made the charts easier to read by splitting the cases into
separate plots and using transparency. I've also added png version back,
because plotting the .svg is quite slow.
