You are measuring time for buffered I/O operations, so your measure is
fundamentally flawed, since this jump won't ever jump to kernel space
unless the buffer gets full once in a while, and the stdio layer has to
sync. At the very least, switch buffering off using setbuf(), give a
newline into the string (depends on underlying termio setup in effect,
so this is unreliable) or simply invoke an actual system call, like
getpgrp() or getppid (and _not_ getpid() which is optimized using direct
fetches from PTDs).
