OK, and we're back to creating a racket but not producing useful numbers; how long is that crap supposed to run before it gives a number? Surely it can produce a useful number after a few minutes of runtime.. Letting it run for hours is just a waste of time and money. Note that I'm running this on a WSM-EP with (2*6*2) 24 CPUs and 24G of ram. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
