1. Compile an unchanging piece of source code.
Anything in particular? I don't much care what, but its build time
multiplied by 5 needs to not be hellishly long. (The machine is used
for
other things; and of course is can't be doing any of those other things
while these tests are running.)
I don't have any specific suggestion, but I do recommend that you
choose a C++ project because that's where we've got the most
complaints. Mozilla and QT are both obvious, but they'd probably be
bad for this purpose because a timing run times five would take hours.
One possibility might be (some specific version of) libstdc++.
