Collect a number of different binaries compiled with different options,
all based on 1.2.pre1. Develop some process, such as booting linux,
compressing some big file, and then rebooting that takes a while.
Time how long each binary takes to execute that task.
Problems with reboot!
1.2.pre1 didn't actually do reboot right!!!!!!!!!
what a pain, all these binaries are compiled by hand.
Maybe I can make a script to compile them all again.
