Absolutely wonderful. I'd love to see this easily scriptable
so we can just run it with one command, eg:
$ ./contest
> Kernel Time %CPU
> 2.4.19 3:00.76 58%
> 2.4.19-ck7 2:01.68 86%
> 2.4.19-ck7-rmap 2:05.95 83%
> 2.4.18-6mdk 3:01.48 58%
Very interesting results. People benchmarking just one thing
at a time won't get variances anywhere near this big, while
real system workload is pretty much always multitasking.
I think I've finally found a benchmark that gives results which
are meaningful in the context of a multitasking system.
