Contest is a benchmark for comparing the responsiveness under load of various kernels. I find it useful for choosing which kernel sources to run on my hardware. I have created a "contest-setup" script which will set up a workspace (kernel 2.4.19 source tree) in which contest can be run. Contest uses the 2.4.19 source for creating its loads (i.e. compiling it, tarring it, etc).
