But pipeline stalls at least are consistent and show in a profile, even
though it may not show the exact spot.

I find cache effects much more frustrating as you can't tell what the
sibling CPUs are doing though you share the higher level cache with them. I
find the number of CPU seconds may vary a factor 2, which makes my 10%
tweaking hard to do...
