I could do that. it just takes such a long time. Each run takes about 20 minutes so with 10 runs per environment, 3 environments (native + 2 docker) per boot, and 4 boots (2 bootparam * 2 compile config), it's 27 hours of compilation. I should probably script it at that point.

Hmm, to make sure, boot with just "spectre_v2_user=prctl" on the command line and test the performance of that?
