I think this may simply be a simple case of cache misses.

Attached is two files: sched_jitter-test.c and do_work.S. I found that by
switching the positions of do_work1 and do_work2, which ever one is first
performs better. do_work1 is me copying the output of objdump of -O1 of
do_work, and do_work2 is copying the output from objdump of -O2.

So jitter going down might simply be a case of the
faster cases actually slowing down, right - and
making things uniformly slow?

Do we know if the whole kaboodle is getting faster?
