It would be nice to show the data in the tables as graphics too, perhaps log-log so it's easier to see all the points.

In the first table:

  Benchmark                   Time             CPU   Iterations
  -------------------------------------------------------------
  BM_ListFind/8            2824 ns         2825 ns       247103
  [...]
  BM_ListFind/8192      3758778 ns      3758624 ns          204
  [...]

the last column makes no sense. Is that an error sorting the data or I'm misunderstanding what it mean?

The benchmark is time-limited, looks like to about 0.75 seconds (= time * iterations). It ran the test that many times in that duration, each iteration taking on average the amount in the time/cpu column.

I agree plots would be nicer (maybe I'll add them) regarding the last column it's the number of iterations, google benchmark will make less iterations if individual iterations take more time.

Now it makes sense.
