May be because of simply copy and pasted the old content in the last thread.

How about the scenario now?.

My .config file is here, http://pastebin.ca/1919917
I tested and understand few test cases below.
switchtest : I am using Intel Dual core processor. ~5731 context switches
happening in a second
cyclictest : Tested with 10 threads. Maximum timer latency is 38us and
minimum is 1us
clocktest : Simply prints the time offset, drift value and wraps compare
with normal linux's gettimeofday(). Not much understand from this test.
latency : user mode latency test provides maximum latency time is 15us.
latency : kernel mode latency test provides maximum latency time is 3.6 us
latency : timer mode latency test provides maximum latency time is 3 us

Not much understand about the clocktest.
More helpful if we have any documentations for the all tests rather than how
to use the tests.
