contest 0.50 benchmark and updated results

I've updated the contest benchmark to v0.50
A significant limitation of the benchmark prior to v0.50 was not knowing how much work was being done by the background load. Knowing this information would be helpful in interpreting the data presented by contest. I have added two more results to each run by contest - an internal number generated by the load condition describing how much work was done, and the cpu% of the load while running. Here is a sample of how the information is presented:
noload:
Kernel [runs] Time CPU% Loads LCPU% Ratio 2.4.19 [3] 67.7 98 0 0 1.01
process_load:
Kernel [runs] Time CPU% Loads LCPU% Ratio 2.4.19 [3] 106.5 59 112 43 1.59
io_load:
Kernel [runs] Time CPU% Loads LCPU% Ratio 2.4.19 [3] 492.6 14 38 10 7.33
mem_load:
Kernel [runs] Time CPU% Loads LCPU% Ratio 2.4.19 [3] 100.0 72 33 3 1.49
The "loads" variable presented is an internal number (the absolute value is not important) and makes comparisons easier. The LCPU% is the cpu% the load used while running. Note if you look for example at process_load the CPU% + LCPU% can be >100 because the load runs for longer than the kernel compile. However, this has been accounted for in the "loads" result, to take into account the variable extra duration the load runs relative to the kernel compile.
An updated complete set of benchmarks will be posted in a separate thread for clarity.
