Are you trying to measure what the absolute best performance is for taskX or hardware-bitY?

Or, are you trying to measure the typical experience of a user doing taskX?

For the former, sure, enable the "performance" CPU governor, the "performance" GPU governor, switch to the "noop" disk scheduler, and run things at 100% utilisation. This is really only good for marketing purposes, since the battery life is atrocious if you actually run the phone/tablet like this.

For the latter, you want to measure how things work when they "race-to-sleep", how/if they bring extra cores online, etc. This is what people really want to see, but that no one wants to publish. The closest you get is in battery life tests.
