Yeah, it becomes a question of time. I run each test 3 times and average the results, so to run the full suite takes a long time.
I've found the "walk up the instance count with the interim results emitted" allows me quicker overall run time than launching all the netperfs at once with a long run time to kludge around skew. Well modulo the time it takes to get them all launched. But for the smallish stuff it is rather faster than the 15 minutes a data point I'd get with the (ab)use of the confidence intervals mechanism in runemomniagg2.sh . It also avoids the "run one wait for it to finish, run two, wait for them to finish, run four, wait for them to finish" bit. Walking-up the instance count leaving the previous instances going does mean that the "end of test" information is full of skew, but a great deal of that end-of-test information is invariant anyway.
