Can we flush this whole thread down the bitbucket. lmbench is just
a very low level analysis, the byte benchmarks are near enough broken beyond
usefulness. Until people are doing formal SPEC and transaction benchmarks
we wont have good answers (and some people maintain those are garbage too
;)). As various people have observed nobody can agree what to compare, what
benchmark is right and what it means anyway.
