Pierre,

The difference between b.N and b.Loop  is a known issue. It is by design,

I can reproduce the issue with this code 
https://github.com/pierrre/go-libs/blob/31bec3f12a86382924cc0b486c2008db062a14bd/runtimeutil/runtimeutil_test.go#L101-L118
Sorry I can't write a smaller code snippet, because I think it's related to 
escape analysis, and I don't fully understand it.

As you can see, I'm benchmarking the same function WriteFrames() with the 
old and the new benchmarking methods.

When I run the benchmark, here is the result

go test -v -run=^$ -bench="^BenchmarkWriteFrames" -benchmem ./runtimeutil

goarch: amd64
