I think programming can be measured by a stopwatch. But who has the time to
measure all the chips (on which chip what programmer performs better). It
might be an interesting project though to create a table on wiki for example
and put experiences by contributors, like I have this and that programmer
and measured the following times on those chips... The rows would be the
chips while the columns the programmers.

Other interesting would be the reliability measurement (and I have no idea
how to do that in a proper way). I suppose some programmer could leave out
the verification completely for gain speed, however, that will be
highlighted in the reliability table... some other production programmer
verifies more than one times in different voltages as far as I know?
