Well, it has this:

5b8809deb4b0a77f  c4c3c3c2d00826c88b5c02c20e
----------------  --------------------------
         %stddev      change         %stddev
             \          |                \
    448554             -61%     174892        will-it-scale.per_process_ops

Xiaolong, can you first explain what those numbers mean? And how do you
compute those 61%?

Thx.
