So - bogoio's are the right approach; the problem is less getting an
accurate simulation, but getting a repeatable simulation :-) of course,
accuracy is nice if you can be repeatable; but ...
Unfortunately, iogrind doesn't work wonderfully well for threaded
applications; but it can be run on OO.o to profile cold-start; and it
might even give some useful numbers - particularly now there is a
'warming' feature (so you can simulate eg. gedit first to warm the gtk
+ / glibc stack (etc.)).
The console mode will give you a single "12.35 bogoseconds" type
number.
HTH,
Michael.
