Linux Kernel Performance Testing

[Grecko OSCP]

Hey All,

I noticed yesterday a news article on Linux.org about more kernel
performance testing being called for, and I decided it would be a nice
project to try. I have 10 completely identical systems that can be
used for this, and would like to get started while I know I have them
for a while.

However, I wanted to make sure I didn't waste time. My plan was to do
all testing, prerelease, and release kernels from the 2.4, 2.5, and
2.6 trees, with both lmbench and the Linux Testing Project (LTP)
benchmark suite. Will this help out? Is there anything else a person
should do? With those two benchmarks, and all the kernels I mentioned,
I could be done in about 25 days, at one kernel a machine a day. I
assume it wouldn't matter what distribution was used, so long as its
the same for all tests?

Thanks!
Grecko
