[INFO] New benchmark on SELINUX and Fedora 15 from Phoronix

[yersinia]

Greetings

Perhaps it is of interest to this list that Phonorix has produced a new
benchmark about the performance impact of SELinux on
Fedora 15. Look very good

Spoiler: negligible impact in gaming, compression, media conversion,
multithreaded IO, and SQL tests; 5% hit for a mail server and 11% for
a simple web server benchmark.

Since those network services are where SELinux brings a huge benefit, I
think the overal takeaway is "yay SELinux!"
