Daniel assisted me with a bash shell script.  It lives in SVN in: 
/scripts/mapservconf  - it makes it very easy to run a set of scripts 
(in the current case each test is run 3 times each) and record the values.

Last night's MapServer test results for all 3 layers are checked into 
/scripts/results/ (these tests ran for 5 hours through the night)
