Subject[BENCHMARK] fork_load module tested for contest


I've been trialling a new load module for the contest benchmark
(http://contest.kolivas.net) which simply forks a process that does nothing,
waits for it to die, then repeats. Here are the results I have obtained so far:

noload:
Kernel Time CPU Ratio
2.4.19 72.90 99% 1.00
2.4.19-ck7 71.55 100% 0.98
2.5.38 73.86 99% 1.01
2.5.38-mm2 73.93 99% 1.01

fork_load:
Kernel Time CPU Ratio
2.4.19 100.05 69% 1.37
2.4.19-ck7 74.65 95% 1.02
2.5.38 77.35 95% 1.06
2.5.38-mm2 76.99 95% 1.06

ck7 uses O1, preempt, low latency
Preempt=N for all other kernels

Clearly you can see the 2.5 kernels have a substantial lead over the current
stable kernel.

This load module is not part of the contest package yet. I could certainly
change it to fork n processes but I'm not really sure just how many n should be.

Comments?

P.S. Results have negligible differences on repeat testing.
