Hi Peter,

I use this Java package.

java-1.7.0-openjdk

I think you don't thing you need to install Windows Manager. In fact,
I'm using just plain text log file (${VER}/${DATE}.log) produced with
this command

./run-specjvm.sh --benchmarkThreads 32 --iterations 1 --iterationTime
180 --warmuptime 90 xml.transform xml.validation 2>&1 | tee >
${VER}/${DATE}.log

Please let me finish bisecting. There are last two commits to be checked:

$ git log --pretty=oneline
e7904a28f5331c21d17af638cb477c83662e3cb6..6ecdd74962f246dfe8750b7bea481a1c0816315d
6ecdd74962f246dfe8750b7bea481a1c0816315d sched/fair: Generalize the
load/util averages resolution definition
2159197d66770ec01f75c93fb11dc66df81fd45b sched/core: Enable increased
load resolution on 64-bit kernels

I should be able to identify the commit which has caused this
regression in few hours.
