Process_load got stuck with 2.5.46. I aborted the second run after 5 hours
because it was too busy piping data between processes (process_load) to do
any kernel compiling. The -mm branch has a fix for this bug which seems to be
more obvious in 2.5.46. Andrew?

Mem_load seems to have dropped off.

Summary: Mostly unchanged from 2.5.45. Process_load now shows the bug where it
gets stuck piping data around. The only significant performance difference is
in mem_load where it seems to do more mem_load work at the expense of the
kernel compilation. To me this seems to be the wrong balance.
