Hm, for these second round of measurements were you using 'perf stat 
-a -C ...'?

The most accurate method of measurement for such single-threaded 
workloads is something like:

	taskset 0x1 perf stat -a -C 1 --repeat 20 ...

this will bind your workload to CPU#0, and will do PMU measurements 
only there - without mixing in other CPUs or workloads.

Thanks,

	Ingo
