No problem, however I don't know at all how to use the "perf" tool (I 
have just discovered it).

I suppose I have to run "perf record mplayer -benchmark..." ?
And then, what about perf record which seems to open perf.data file ? 
(An example would be helpful).

You need it for each of the 6 tests from yesterday ?
