NAME
       x11perfcomp - X11 server performance comparison program

SYNTAX
       x11perfcomp [ -r | -ro ] [ -l label_file ] files

DESCRIPTION
       The  x11perfcomp	 program merges the output of several x11perf(1) runs
       into a nice tabular format.  It takes the results in each file,	fills
       in  any missing test results if necessary, and for each test shows the
       objects/second rate of each server.  If invoked with  the  -r  or  -ro
       options, it shows the relative performance of each server to the first
       server.

       Normally, x11perfcomp uses the first file specified to determine which
       specific tests it should report on.  Some (non-DEC :) servers may fail
       to perform all tests.  In this case, x11perfcomp automatically substi-
       tutes  in  a  rate of 0.0 objects/second.  Since the first file deter-
       mines which tests to report on, this file must contain a	 superset  of
       the tests reported in the other files, else x11perfcomp will fail.

       You can provide an explicit list of tests to report on by using the -l
       switch to specify a file of labels.  You can create a  label  file  by
       using the -label option in x11perf.

OPTIONS
       x11perfcomp accepts the options listed below:

       -r	       Specifies that the output should also include relative
		       server performance.

       -ro	       Specifies that the output should include only relative
		       server performance.

       -l label_file   Specifies a label file to use.

X DEFAULTS
       There are no X defaults used by this program.

       Joel McCormack just munged them together a bit.
