CPU benchmark advice

Cool, thanks Cuoq! I wouldn't have expected hyperthreads to help so much to scale beyond 4 threads. So it looks like up to 4x as much Robocode throughput as I have now is a pretty solid estimate. Now I just need to grapple with whether that's worth a few hundred bucks... =)

I re-ran some tests here with Diamond 1.6.7 on a fresh Robocode 1.7.3.2, using the time command like Rednaxela. I'm seeing about 57s/battle when I run one at a time and 39s/battle when I run 2 in parallel (just duplicating the command, adding &, taking the max elapsed). I forgot my RoboResearch dir had a cranked CPU constant.
