I would think nowadays performance can be measured much more accurately
and easier post flight using analysis software such as SeeYou. Also I
believe the true performance of the glider should use GPS altitude and
not pressure altitude.

The German Akafliegs (aeronautical groups in their universities) still do
rigourous performance measurements on gliders. You could do a lot worse
than reading their papers and/or contacting them.
