sorry for the late reply, this week I was traveling.

No Problem. Thanks very much for your very detailed reply,
which obviously took considerable time to write. While
I was making progress, your instructions really fill in
some gaps and mistakes I was making.

Eventually (probably several days) I'll report back my test
results.

Some specific remarks you raise:

My issue is that I do not understand the output or how it
might correlate with your tables.

I get, for example:

   3    1   1     0.13s     0.68s     0.80s  1003894.302 1003779.613
   3    1   1     0.16s     0.64s     0.80s  1008900.053 1008215.336
   3    1   1     0.14s     0.66s     0.80s  1009630.439 1008990.265
...

But I don't know what that means, nor have I been able to find
a description anywhere.

I don't recognize this output. I hope the illustration above can clarify how
MMTests is used.

Due to incompetence on my part, the config file being run for my tests was
always just the default config file from my original
git clone https://github.com/gormanm/mmtests.git
command. So regardless of what I thought I was doing, I was running "pft"
(Page Fault Test).
