Yes, all measurable kernel cost should be in the memory copies
(migration and khugepaged, the latter is going to be optimized away).
The migrations must stop after the workload converges. Either
migrations are used to reach convergence or they shouldn't happen in
the first place (not in any measurable amount).

My understanding is separate instances. I think it's a single threaded
benchmark and you run many copies. It was modified to run for 5min
(otherwise upstream has not enough time to get it wrong, as result of
background scheduling jitters).
Thanks!
