Ingo, with the repeat experiements I see
7192354.545647 task-clock-msecs # 23.955 CPUs ( +- 0.002% )
425627 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec ( +- 0.333% )
155 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec ( +- 10.897% )
95336481 page-faults # 0.013 M/sec ( +- 0.085% )
5951929070187 cycles # 827.536 M/sec ( +- 0.009% )
1058312583796 instructions # 0.178 IPC ( +- 0.076% )
9616609083 cache-references # 1.337 M/sec ( +- 2.536% )
1952367514 cache-misses # 0.271 M/sec ( +- 0.156% )
300.246532761 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.002% )
Except for the CPU migrations and the cache references, all the other
parameters seem to be well within an acceptable error range.
