Use fixed axes in plots #130

Closed mdboom closed 7 months ago

mdboom commented 7 months ago

We use auto-determined axes on most of our plots. This makes them cognitively more difficult to compare across multiple plots, since identical things might look small on one and huge on another depending on context.

We should fix all of our axes to 50% to 150% speedup. Specifically, for the benchmarking plots and the longitudinal plots on the front page. This may truncate some of the data, but it seems like a worthwhile tradeoff.
