Perhaps you're right about that for more complex software. But for Freecell
Solver, I noticed that running it on the virtual console without X running and
while renicing it to the maximal possible priority, yields about the same
runtime every time. This maybe because it is almost purely CPU/memory bound
and does not use the disk much.
I'm also more interested in the minimal running time than I am in the mean
one.
