[kwlug disc.] (advanced user only) Request for kernel compile time

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

It may be easier of you used an alternate benchmark that does not require
(1) a development environment, nor (2) downloading of anything.

For example:

      time dd if=/dev/urandom bs=32k count=5000 | bzip2 -c > /dev/null &

This generates 5,000 blocks of 32K each and compresses them to the bit
bucket.

The disk and file system should not be a factor here, only the CPU.

bzip2 is very CPU intensive.

If you are on a dual core machine, you can run it twice to saturate both
CPUs.
