This issue has been sitting on my todo list to revisit but I have not found time:

• https://github.com/airspeed-velocity/asv/issues/1219

[ivirshup]

It's encouraging to see that asv development seems to have increased since that issue was created:

Are there specific improvements that people would be interested in building out at this summit?

@WilliamJamieson and @zacharyburnett working on https://github.com/astropy/astropy-benchmarks that uses asv might have ideas.
