From my experience, 2.8 will not send results to openbenchmarking.org. You can install 3.0 without removing 2.8 no problem. It just updates the scripts.

One thing I did notice though, 3.0 doesn't use the same 'installed-tests' folder, it puts a pts folder inside the 'installed-tests' folder. You should build a download-cache folder... I forget the exact syntax, but just type 'phoronix-test-suite' and look for it. Should be something like 'phoronix-test-suite build-download-cache'.
Then you can do a rm -Rf .phoronix-test-suite/installed-tests/*
Then install 3.0
Then run/install whichever benchmarks you want and it should find most of them in your download cache. A lot have been updated or added though and will will still have to download.
