The number of operations in your program are the same, but your program is running on the same machine as the linux OS which has deamons running in the background, and may even be stopping to page in code your program needs, or grow pages as it allocates memory. Vast numbers of things affect timing. Even the stupid dynamic library load address randomization linux does can result in totally different cache hits in memory. The list goes on and on... Apart from linux, most motherboards these days have SMI interrupts happening behind everyone's back which leave missing chunks of time no one can account for. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
