perf test brstack: Speed up running test by using tr -s instead of xargs
The brstack test runs quite slowly in software models. Part of the reason is "xargs -n1" is quite inefficient in replacing spaces with newlines. While that's not noticeable on normal machines, it is on software models. Use "tr -s ' ' '\n'" instead which can do the same transformation, but is much faster. For comparison on an M1 Macbook Pro: $ time seq -s ' ' 10000 | xargs -n1 > /dev/null real 0m2.729s user 0m2.009s sys 0m0.914s $ time seq -s ' ' 10000 | tr -s ' ' '\n' | grep '.' > /dev/null real 0m0.002s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.001s The "grep '.'" is also needed to remove any remaining blank lines.
