While
that's perhaps an interesting benchmark as well, it has little
correlation with questions like "how fast will my kernel compile
go when run in gnome-terminal"?
But will cat end after all output has been displayed or before? (Due to
pipe buffers.)
If we are measuring wall clock time, timing the cat command seems
to be pretty appropriate.
If we are measuring CPU usage, then we need to find CPU usage from
the terminal *and* from the X server, so we already need to use a
tool like oprofile that can get a global view.
I agree.
