Thank you for the info, but I'm exploring ways that will not increase the time
window between the reads.
While we are at it, would you be able to drop me some numbers from your
platform, preferably good and `bad` ones:
both counter values, and the bits that are used for mapping performance to
actual frequency (nominal freq/perf, reference perf)
