Hi Graeme, I'm doing tests on Fedora 15 and using it's provided /lib/modules/2.6.41.10-3.fc15.x86_64/build/Makefile for compiling the module.

Geometrical Mean of 512 values on Core i7: Original_code: 98.2421756187 Proposed_code: 17.9710892854 > That sounds like a perfectly good methodology - It would be interesting to > see how many reps are required before the mean settles down to a constant > value - Maybe you don't need to run it so many times, or maybe you need to > run more... During the run, measuring the original code reports some values that are much higher than the average.
