That's a good point. I missed that, probably because I *knew* it would be
slower with SELinux enabled, and so just assumed that it was.

That's really odd. There should be no disk accesses happening (the
pagecache/buffer cache is preloaded and noatime is turned on), the CPUs are
running at top speed at all times, and there's lots of free RAM available.
Network activity should also be minimal, so I'm not sure why there's so much
variance.

I'll re-run my tests from a kernel running a single bash and nothing else, see
if I can get more consistent data.
