Michael, would you be willing to include a version of this test in the 
above test suite? If so, then in keeping with the rest of the test 
suite, I would recommend splitting into two tests, one of each opcode 
being tested, and  add argument to define thread count. The run.sh 
script would then run each thread count as a separate test run.
