Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Liquorix Kernel

Phoronix.com benchmarks for a future article looking at the performance impact of the stock Ubuntu 12.04 LTS kernel versus the Liquorix kernel using its official Debian package, also from the Linux 3.2 kernel like the Precise Pangolin kernel in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x86_64. Only the kernel was changed out between test runs.
