That sounds a tad defensive. Pardon me for evolving my benchmarks
as I investigate where all the different bottlenecks are (and
remove them).

There is no "right" benchmark. Anyways, people might find it more
interesting to measure select/poll latencies using lat_select from
the lmbench 2.0-alpha test pre-release.
