Hi all,
here the contest results:

2.4.19 [3] 461.0 28 46 8 3.60
2.5.40 [3] 293.6 45 25 8 2.29

2.5.42-mm2 [3] 254.6 53 20 8 1.99

It seems useful to me add a colum with CPU%+LCPU%.
It is intersting to notice that 2.5.41 spend 41+9=50% CPU time
for compiling and for the io_load while 2.5.42 spend 45+9=54%
time. Can I say that 2.5.42 is "better" than 2.5.41 ?

read_load:
Kernel [runs] Time CPU% Loads LCPU% Ratio
2.5.42 [3] 162.3 82 10 4 1.27
2.5.42-mm2 [3] 162.5 82 10 4 1.27

No difference here.

list_load:
Kernel [runs] Time CPU% Loads LCPU% Ratio
2.5.42 [3] 154.2 85 0 6 1.20
2.5.42-mm2 [3] 155.1 85 0 6 1.21

No difference here.

mem_load:
Kernel [runs] Time CPU% Loads LCPU% Ratio
2.4.19 [3] 161.1 80 38 2 1.26
2.5.40 [3] 163.0 80 34 2 1.27
2.5.40-nopree [3] 161.7 80 34 2 1.26

No I'm afraid not. The lcpu% cant estimate accurately the cpu% used by the
load while the kernel is actually being compiled as the load starts before
ther kernel compilation and ends after it. This means that lcpu% will always
overestimate the loads' cpu%. I haven't found a workaround for this... yet
