OK, that does surprise me. I could imagine that running a test with
lots of output to the serial port could slow things down, but if
you're redirecting everything then it should be making no difference
at all. What kind of variance are you seeing?


I've been working on a long test run definition with a lot of serial console output (Piglit), here is what i found [1],  looks like is related to this thread.

Anibal: It is not related - this thread is concerning output from scripts running on the DUT and writing to the DUT filesystem without sending output anywhere else.

Your Piglit report is different - you are reporting activity on the dispatcher (telnet & lava-run). Steve addresses the difference in the paragraph above your reply.

Florence: please provide more information on what variance is actually being seen? The numbers quoted so far are meaningless without the context of what amount of variance is expected and what the numbers actually represent.
