In netperf terms that would be adding the confidence intervals calculations to 
the results - which will be done by that "runemomniagg2.sh" script I mentioned. 
When running multiple instance tests, it is very important to set the min and 
max iterations to the same value so no instance thinks to finish early.  The 
script does that, just want to make sure that those leveraging it do the same.

happy benchmarking,
