FEEDS Timings Tables
These tables give the output of running /usr/bin/time ./RUN all in the top level FEEDS directory; this is user CPU time, i.e. the time with a u by it.
If you are interested in adding your timings to this table, email us with the full output of running the test, along with a description of your hardware, the output of uname -a and the version of the compiler (if any) that you used to compile FSL. Note that a timing is not very meaningful if you do not have enough RAM for the test to run without needing to do any swapping.

Conclusions: using all 4 cores nearly as fast as just 1. After this, not much gain, although if one has (e.g.) 8 processes to run, it's faster to run all 8 simultaneously than to run 4 at once and then the other 4, assuming everything can fit in RAM.

Conclusion: using all 4 cores nearly as fast as just 1, but not much point using more processes than cores.
