Although having the kernel CPU times be accurate, etc., I think its
more important to know how much overall bandwidth was achieved with a
486 as a router, with and without QoS or other rules on. If the speed
doesn't get slower (except where limiting is enforced, of course), then
its a big enough machine (and we can all buy up a bunch of old 486 stock
to build Linux-based router appliances).
