Subject: [9fans] FTQ benchmark available

The Finite Time Quantum benchmark has been ported to Plan 9; just mk
it and go.  There is a python program included to analyze and plot the
data which you should probably run on Linux.  FTQ measures operating
system "noise" by trying to do as much work as possible in fixed time
sections; if the operating system is "noisy", less work will be done
and you'll see spikes on the graph.  The best way to understand this
is to run the test and look at it.

Tarball is at /n/sources/contrib/john/ftq.tgz

Unlike the lmbench port, there are no restrictions on this
benchmark--go ahead and share your results, compare them to Linux,
etc.
