Some benchmarks on ARM

[Robert Schwebel]

Hi,

We have recently made some benchmarks, in order to get a little bit
better fealing about where ARM cpus are today, especially when it comes
to the "recent" ones, and in comparism to the Atom. So we collected a
few benchmarks (most from lmbench) and did some actual measurements.

Here is a little article:
http://www.pengutronix.de/development/kernel/arm-benchmarks-20100702_en.html

I'm pretty sure that there are quite a few things where people on ALKML
have good ideas where the effects come from or how to improve the
methodology - so I'd be glad to get some feedback from the community!

All measurements have been done on 2.6.34.

Thanks,

rsc
