Meltdown fix impact on Redis performances in virtualized environments

UPDATE: apparently kernel difference may have a serious impact, so I'll redo the test from scratch.

Test performed with AOF enabled, fsync policy 1 second, allowing the rewrites to be triggered.

	# This is a script that allows you to easily launch Steam apps via Proton
	# without going through Steam.
	# It also allows you to specify specific libraries, for those who utilize
	# multiple Steam library folders.
	# Finally, it also makes use of curly braces for variable expansion,
	# which is best-practice: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8748880

	# To use this script:
	# 1. Save it somewhere (e.g. ~/Desktop/LaunchMyGame.sh)
