We're mostly taught that there are "lies , damned lies and stastics"
and told to extrapolate that theory to benchmarks and release dates ;-).

Hmm...This also applies for ilrun (CVM conversion, unrolling, inlining) ?.

Well that's obtained after the two DateTime.Now calls.. So that should
not interfere .

Hmm.. I was comparing the performance of x86 unrolled ilrun doing the
FooBar.Test() and full JIT doing FooBar.Test() .. When I got a higher
speed for the simpler ilrun , I added 1024 runs to balance out any
effects of conversion.

This looks a lot like the code I'm working on , where a for loop over 
the entries checking for true vs false ... (it now has ~7000 iterations, 
but 1024 was a decent approximation).

hehe, after you doctored it to give that :) ....

I was just playing around with the unroller when I checked this . This 
was a simpler case to check whether my computer had gone haywire .  My 
comparison led to the last mail.

Well, let's get back to work ...
