Is is very easy to use the XMP reports produced by the test suite.
1. Run the test suite with --enable-profiling and gather all the output
in one big file.
2. Filter the big file with the filter-test-xml.py which deletes
everything that doesn't look like XML.
3. Use the XML X Path language to get what you want, for example boxplot.py.
The mean values are not that interesting since the main goal for a
real-time operating system is to provide a reasonable worst case thread
dispatch latency. Attached are the outliers for the two test runs. I
didn't analyse every outlier in detail, but most can be explained with
interrupt processing of the clock tick and some inherent problems of the
SMP support.
