+ Producer-consumer ping-pong tests. It aims to benchmark condition variables with and without
+ thread cancellation support by comparing the time it took to complete the benchmark.
+
+ Condition variable with thread cancellation support is boost::condition_variable from
+ boost-1.51. Without - std::condition_variable that comes with gcc-4.7.2.
+
+ One producer, one to CONSUMER_MAX consumers. The benchmark calls
+ condition_variable::notify_all() without holding a mutex to maximize contention within this
+ function. Each benchmark for a number of consumers is run three times and the best time is
+ picked to get rid of outliers.
+
+ The results are reported for each benchmark for a number of consumers. The most important number
+ is (std - boost) / std * 100. Positive numbers are when boost::condition_variable is faster,
+ negative it is slower.
