Not likely - it took 8+ hours to do the quad core tests and a single kernel build iteration takes 1-2 hours on this box.

Pity. It would be interesting to run your benchmarks on a PIII, even if it takes 5 days; or tune them to last less. Just about any current netbook would do too. Any takers?

As a socratic exercise: just what would it prove if BFS performed better than CFS? And then, what would we learn if the reverse happened and CFS bested BFS?
