OK, measuring PPD on my Linux hosts will provide value mostly to myself, as I have disproportionally many cores driven by Linux instead of Windows, and Linux versions of several WCG applications are said to perform different from (better than) the Windows versions.
WCG publish average run time and average WCG-points per hour-of-run-time themselves, averaged over all hosts from all contributors. Links found thanks to conversation with Tony.
So far I measured SCC, Zika, and OET on my Linux host and got results far above those averages. That's probably the Linux effect. I have read a few times that some WCG contributors with Windows hosts run Linux VMs just for WCG.Additionally, while my core clock isn't particularly high, it may still be somewhat above the average across all WCG contributors' cores. Edit: My core clock is probably somewhat below the average across all WCG contributors' cores.
