That's dbench ;-) Tbench does wiggle around more than you'd like
though. I've never tracked, but in lots of running the thing, 2-3% you
can forget chasing, and I once bisected a 5% regression to an unrelated
change, reverted and re-applied the suspect a few times in disbelief,
and it tracked. You can't trust it _too_ much. I consider it a
reliable indicator that I'd better do more testing. If others agree,
it's a real regression, if not, it's those damn Elves 'n Gremlins ;-)
