comparing models without fooling yourself: what are you seeing?

Did a bit of testing and thought I'd post the result here.

I tried this with Phi using LM Studio on Threadripper box. The headline result was better than I expected, but consumer GPUs still ended up being the limiting factor.

Happy to post more details if anyone wants them.

My use case is pretty ordinary: local chat, some document work, and occasional batch jobs.
