Keep in mind that due to cache alignment (and other) issues, runs of the same
executable can vary in speed by almost half depending on where in the buffer
cache they get placed. Some of that is working theory, actually. Do this and
note the strangeness:
Take a random executable you want to benchmark. Make three seperate copies of
it in the filesystem (not links). Run and time each. The running time of any
one will be very consistent. Compared to each other, they will vary wildly...
Just a gotcha to alert people about; I ran into this long ago benching Ogg.
