A few performance results

[serue@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

Attached are a series of benchmark results comparing 2.6.12-rc2 with and
without selinux compiled in.  Both systems had capabilities enabled.
The test system was a dual opteron fedora core 3 system with a custom
dummy policy.  The root filesystem was ext3, but the benchmarks were run
on a separate ext2 filesystem.  The benchmarks run were dbench, tbench,
reaim, fsx-linux (jsut as a stress test) and kernbench.  I did two runs
with no profiling, which is what I'm mainly reporting here.  I also did
one run with profiling enabled.  From those results I am appending the
dbench output as well as the oprofile results.  I can send the other
profiling results if there is interest.

This is a temporary test system, which will sson become unavailable.
However, within the week we hope to have 1,4,8 and 16-cpu power
partitions ready for testing.
