La frite 5.4 kernel benchmarks
I've compiled a mainline 5.4 kernel and installed it in the default Ubuntu 18.04 headless ( no mali drivers) and run some test from the phoronix-test-suite to compare with other sbcs.
To compile the kernel, I've followed the same procedure described in this previous post, including the fact that you need to get the new platform.dtb file from the kernel:

I've included extra optimization flags to the compile:
CFLAGS="-march=armv8-a+crypto+crc -mtune=cortex-a53"
For the test, I've used a benchmark from a Phoronix article where a bunch of SBCs where compared:

The test is a bit old (from September 2018), but I believe it includes a nice variety of boards. Some of this boards might have more updated software avaliable at this time.
To run the test, I simply installed phoronix-test-suite from ubuntu repositories and used the command:
phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1809111-RA-ARMLINUX005
The results were run from an external usb drive.
Here are my results:

The board shows some quite respectable performance, although I wonder if most other boards would perform better with software more up to date.
Also note that the board was running with ample airflow, usually not surpassing 45ºC
The test take a few ours to run and I'm a bit busy, but I'll try to get some test with the default 4.19 kernel as well.

I've also updated the image with the 5.6.2 kernel to Ubuntu 19.04, and it usually gets the highest scores of all the previous test.
