and, finally
	$ hugeadm --induce-involuntary-twitching DEFAULTMODE:crazyunixguy \
		--involuntary-twitching-random-seed 2269  \
		--involuntary-twitching-mean-frequency 1000 milliseconds \
		--involuntary-twitching-ready --involundary-twitching-set --go \
 		--no-i-really-mean-it

was it just me, or was the performance improvement
underwhelming, considering the downsides and the
fact that it was a synthetic benchmark?
