5.3 System Performance Benchmark

Each application and system configuration is slightly different. System performance will vary when you
change setup parameters and if your tools change. This can affect the results of your experiments. Creating
a benchmark of your initial setup and performance can be useful at a later date in identifying a change in
performance, and can also help in recreating your exact initial setup.
The following steps are used only to record system performance, not your experiment results.
