Description Filip Pizlo 2011-10-01 00:40:44 PDT

The Tools/Scripts/bencher script simplifies performance testing.  Sometimes it would be useful to use bencher itself within a script, and read out the results - for example when varying some configuration parameter of a particular build of a VM.  But bencher has no way of computing a single aggregate result for all benchmark suites, and no way of printing it.  It also gets confused if a VM is modified to print additional output beyond jsc's print statement, which makes it impossible to use bencher with certain profiling features enabled.

Hi Filip, I'm not sure why this issue is associated with the "Web Audio" component?

My guess is off by one from Tools/Tests.  Fixed.
