There is a codespeed-dev list somewhere as well, it is ok to ask here though.

I would think this would skew results over time especially if there is heavy web traffic. I would like to avoid having the resource consumption from web hosting impact the benchmarking output.

No, it does not imply that in any way. Requiring local copy doesn't
mean you have to have benchmarks run there.

Ideally, as commits are detected in the repositories and the benchmarks are rerun and the results posted, codespeed would be able to regen a bunch of static files and ship them off to the web server.

Pages are a bit too dynamic for that. You can request particular
ranges of data etc. In theory it's maybe possible, but I don't think
with the current codebase.
