# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `c8d6efa`. This run achieved the highest average frames per second, providing a significantly higher frame rate compared to the others. * **Smoothest FPS**: `a72c905`. This run demonstrated the lowest standard deviation and variance in FPS, ensuring the most stable and smoothest gameplay experience. * **Best overall**: `c8d6efa`. This run not only had the highest average FPS but also managed to keep its stability within an acceptable range, making it the best overall performance. # Issues: * The run with `d1064a8` had a noticeably higher variance in FPS compared to others in the same benchmark, indicating erratic performance. * The run with `f965ceb` also exhibited a significantly higher variance and standard deviation in FPS, which suggests inconsistent performance. * `d1064a8` and `f965ceb` both experienced higher frame time variances, leading to less smooth gameplay compared to others. # Summary This benchmark evaluated various commits from the `bpfland-next` branch of the Linux kernel under a stress test to gauge their impact on gaming performance in Mirror's Edge. Despite identical hardware and software configurations across all runs, significant differences in performance were noted. The kernel commit labeled `c8d6efa` delivered the highest average FPS, making it the top performer, but `a72c905` provided the most stable frame rates. However, runs such as `d1064a8` and `f965ceb` struggled with consistency, suggesting variability in the effectiveness of these kernel updates. This indicates that while some commits can push the hardware to its limits effectively, others may introduce instability, affecting the overall gaming experience.
