Here. Attached un updated script (xmlbench2.py) which uses 'psutil'
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil) to gather the samples.
CPU sampled each 500ms (half a second). 100% is one core.
My laptop reports 4 core (dualcore with hyperthreading).
See attached some graphs for easier comsumption and their gnuplot recipe.
cpu_300t_3m.png: load using the test script with 300 threads, each thread
runs ~3 minutes
cpu_500t_3m.png: load using the test script with 500 threads, each thread
runs ~3 minutes
sampling is not really accurate but it is more than enough to get an idea.
Nice!
