That's just a sample application; writing your own application using
the tremor library is trivial.

Unfortunately, we don't have formal compliance criteria. It's a lot of
work to develop these and test bitstreams, and as a non-profit, we're
limited in how much time we have to spend on some things. It's the
sort of thing that's probably not going to get done unless someone
funds us to do it.

The tremor code is fairly portable to a wide range of cpus. As far as
ARM goes: tremor in fact includes a fair chunk of ARM assembly
optimisations, so it works particularly well there.

Well, benchmarking can be done externally to the library, there are
lots of tools for doing that sort of thing, none of them are specific
to tremor.
