First is to create a baseline without any encryption happening, this test will be run to
measure the load being placed on the processor when 1,000, 5,000, 10,000 and 20,000
files are being created. Each test will run over a 30 second interval, this will provide
ample time to complete the test and will also visually depict the information more
clearly. Figures 37, 38, 39 and 40 show these results. As these experiments have
been carried out on a quad core processor the pink line represents a single core.
