AIM on large CPU count machines was the most significant I had heard
about. Haven't measured recently on database load - we made a cut to
O(1) some time back for simplicity. Supposedly volanomark was doing
better for a while but again we haven't cut back to MQ in quite a while;
trying instead to refine O(1). Volanomark is something of a scheduling
anomaly though - sender/receiver timing on loopback affects scheduling
decisions and overall throughput in ways that may or may not be consistent
with real workloads. AIM is probably a better workload for "real life"
random scheduling testing.
