Thanks for the feedback. You're right, READMEs are missing ; they'll come.

The current procedure, regarding the configuration file, is:
  * write a configuration file (like those already provided as examples)
  * cp it to test.cfg
  * launch performance-test.py
why the cp ? because it allows to tweak it without changing the original.
But it would certainly be best to use a proper argument parsing 
(argparse, like for gnuplotize_*.py and generate_graphs.py) and have an 
optional configuration file.


The material and documentation to reproduce the tests isn't fully 
available yet but will be very soon.  I can already give you a link to 
the debian root filesystem (to be exported through NFS) that was used ; 
however I can't guarantee yet that it will work.
