Did you read that Microsoft tech link that I included in my first post?

"Commiting idle tasks" in windows means that idle (usually low priority?) processes, which have not completed yet, are suddenly given priority and run.

You want to do this before a benchmark so that no such idle task suddenly comes alive in the middle of your benchmark for whatever reason and contaminates your benchmark.

Thanks for pointing out init. Are you referring to the init process, or the init (system) command? There appears to be a distinction (Unix for Advanced Users - The Unix Boot Sequence - Starting init).

The web research that I did just now does not seem to say anything about init being able to cause idle processes to be forced to run, but maybe I missed something.
