oprofile results with lmbench
oprofile gives access to cpu performance counters on x86.
I ran oprofile with the individual lmbench tests to get data from several of the counters. This "hot kernel function" and counter info may be useful. A web page with the results from 5 of the performance counters for each lmbench test is at:

I'll add the rest of the counter data over the next few days. Comments/caveats on how to make the information more useful are welcome.
The target kernel was 2.4.19rc1aa1 on an Athlon 1333.
