No, actually I mixed the output of hackbench without being run with idlestat or with idlestat.
The hackbench's results below are without idlestat.
The idlestat results are consistent and effectively it adds a non negligeable overhead as it impacts the hackbench results.
So to summarize, hackbench has been run 4 times.
1, 2 : without idlestat, with and without the patchset - hackbench results ~42 secs
3, 4 : with idlestat, with and without the patchset - hackbench results ~87 secs
At the first the glance, the results are consistent but I will double check them.
Do you have a suggestion for a benchmarking program ?
Thanks !
