Yes, but the results are now outdated (2011). This said, such benchmark
hardly reflected a use case. It was more a Xenomai 2.6.x vs 3.x analysis
of basic mechanisms (event notification, serialization, buffer exchange
etc) for measuring the impact of moving most of the real-time API
implementation to user-space, only keeping the core resource management
in kernel space. It proved to be positive.

Mercury vs Cobalt was only a by-product of those tests, specifically on
x86_32.
