Dear all,

this may be interesting:

http://starexec.lefora.com/topic/117/New-Benchmarking-Framework-BenchExec

as it could remove the problems that runsolver had
w.r.t. memory measurements for JVM.

Starexec wants this to become the default (over runsolver)
"likely in a month or so".

So, I recommend you test this, and report here,
in particular, if you had problems with runsolver earlier -
but also if you did not,
so we can make an informed decision to switch for the next
competition.

I hope that changes required in other tooling
(star-exec-presenter) are minimal. I'd appreciate
technical help - if you have seen benchexec before.
See https://github.com/jwaldmann/star-exec-presenter/issues/128
