BTW, it doesn't make much sense to be measuring to millisecond precision 
a quantity which has variation that is unknown but probably much larger 
:)  When trying to make comparisons to identify performance changes, a 
careful statistical approach is necessary.

Try the /usr/src/tools/tools/ministat utility for a simple and effective 
way to compare these kinds of noisy measurements and extract reliable 
comparisons.
