pro perf tip of the day: did you know that it's possible to run:

perf stat --repeat 10 --null perf bench sched pipe

and get meaningful, normalized stddev calculations for free:

5.486491487 seconds time elapsed ( +- 5.50% )

the percentage at the end shows the level of standard deviation.

You can add "--sync" as well, which will cause perf stat to call
sync() - this gives extra stability of individual iterations and
makes sure all IO cost is accounted to the right run.

Thanks,

Ingo
