This version of Perl has had much of the UN*Xisms striped out (such
as /etc/passwd lookups, and setuid behavior) to simplify benchmarking
under various operating systems.
We benchmark this against scripts that performing some basic math calculations
and word lookups in associative arrays.
As much as 10% of the time can be spent in routines commonly found
in libc.a: malloc, free, memcpy, etc.
Rough estimates of some of the basic hardware level activities: CPI, I-
and D-cache activity, and TLB activity. This data is only useful for comparing
the '95 benchmarks, not for comparing against any particular hardware.
