[snip results: -aa twice as fast as -rmap for dbench,
-rmap twice as fast as -aa for tiobench]
What would be interesting here are the dbench dots, where
a '+' indicates that a program exits.
It's possible that under one of the kernels the programs
are getting throttled differently and some of the dbench
processes exit _way_ earlier than the others, leaving a
much lighter load on the rest of the system for the second
part of the test.
It would be interesting to see the dbench dots from both
-aa and -rmap ;)

Rik
