From edbf97b3f19a64efad48314fc1ba932e94889fc3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: retoor Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 08:53:04 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] BENCH.md: literal, complete record -- every row, plus raw appendices The prior BENCH.md curated the benchmark output into summary tables and, in doing so, actually dropped data: the rmdir measurements were missing entirely, and the large-file read rows were never tabulated (only write was), for both the before and after runs. Not what "document this literally" asked for. Fixed: the "Before"/"After" tables now reproduce all 45 measurements each run's summary block reported, none omitted or combined. Added two appendices with the complete verbatim program output for both runs, exactly as captured, as the primary source record -- the curated tables are a presentation of that data, not a substitute for it. Cross-checked every value in both tables against the verbatim appendices; they match exactly.
