watching strace, objdump etc etc, I roughly conclude the high initial
tsc number might be due to initial symbol resolve to mygetpid() and/or
syscall() (IIRC this is called PLT/GOT symbol resolve).

After the GOT/PLT table had the syscall/mygetpid address, the rest went fast.

PS: if using gcc -O2, seems like mygetpid() is really inlined....
