   I need to research how important these are.
   They are important for cryptography, but we do not care about that.
   They are important for discrete/abstract mathematics, but bignum probably 
isn't in those cases?

+Add CPU-warmup loop to benchmarks.
+  If ondemand scaling is available but not set, set it.
+  If the current frequency is not the minimum, run a
+    catch-fire loop until the CPU is throttled to the
+    minimum frequency.
+  This loop shall be done after help variables have
+  been assigned values, as this can help the warmup.
