The results are pretty close when running this test, but I can average up several runs and present the numbers. I plan to get a bare-metal test box on which to run some more detailed testing and maybe some profiling this week.
Just contributing more runs into the mean doesn't tell us anything about the variance. With numbers that close you need the variance to tell whether it's a significant change. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
