Do you recall if you looked at the parallel results or the serially executed ones? I imagine that the parallel ones will have much more noise since we run the tests up to 20 at a time. I imagine probably none, or at most not many of the animals have enough CPU cores not to be context switching a lot during those the parallel runs. I thought the serial ones would be better but didn't have an idea of they'd be good enough to be useful. David
