Hi Jens,

        We are writing a step-by-step manual for the bake-off tests.
Hopefully that manual will help you and other users. Meanwhile, if you are
comfortable with what 1.x version does, please note that result extraction
and even the console output has not changed much in 2.x (yet). Moreover,
the [reasonably well documented] console output contains all the most
important measurements: throughput, response time, hit ratio, and errors.

Alex.
