I agree wrt (b).  The number of remaining functions as a bar chart using the
same six benchmarks would be nice.  You could even normalize stuff to show how
many original functions were there as well.  This graph would reinforce
  * that A_call and A_dom consistently beat A_cont
  * the positive correlation between amount of contification and run time
  * that A_dom almost always contifies more than A_cont -- this helps bring out
   the point about anomalies 

As to (a), I think the <4% is enough.  And we're already hurting for time.
