That's in the source I posted, but I didn't point it out. (It wasn't an attempt to be deceptive, that's just how I happened to have left the file when I was experimenting with various options. I figured if we were looking for 7x, 1.5x wasn't all that important.) That explains some of the residual difference between our figures. When developing, I was using a many-iteration benchmark, and I suspect it fitted in the Ivy Bridge uop cache, which let it saturate the execution resources. Sorry for the premature alarm; I'll go back to work and find something better. I still get comparable speed for 2 loops and -O2: $ cc -W -Wall -m32 -O2 -march=native random.c -o random32 # ./perftest ../spooky/random32 pool 1 = 85670974 e96b1f8f 51244abf 5863283f pool 2 = 03564c6c eba81d03 55c77fa1 760374a7 0: 148 124 (-24) 1: 48 36 (-12) 2: 40 36 (-4) 3: 44 40 (-4) 4: 44 40 (-4) 5: 36 36 (+0) 6: 52 36 (-16) 7: 44 32 (-12) 8: 44 36 (-8) 9: 48 36 (-12) $ cc -W -Wall -m64 -O2 -march=native random.c -o random64 # ./perftest ../spooky/random64 pool 1 = 85670974 e96b1f8f 51244abf 5863283f pool 2 = 03564c6c eba81d03 55c77fa1 760374a7 0: 132 104 (-28) 1: 40 40 (+0) 2: 36 44 (+8) 3: 32 40 (+8) 4: 40 36 (-4) 5: 32 40 (+8) 6: 36 44 (+8) 7: 40 40 (+0) 8: 36 44 (+8) 9: 40 36 (-4) $ cc -W -Wall -m32 -O3 -march=native random.c -o random32 # ./perftest ./random32 pool 1 = 85670974 e96b1f8f 51244abf 5863283f pool 2 = 03564c6c eba81d03 55c77fa1 760374a7 0: 88 48 (-40) 1: 36 40 (+4) 2: 36 44 (+8) 3: 32 40 (+8) 4: 36 40 (+4) 5: 96 40 (-56) 6: 40 40 (+0) 7: 36 40 (+4) 8: 28 48 (+20) 9: 28 40 (+12) $ cc -W -Wall -m64 -O3 -march=native random.c -o random64 # ./perftest ./random64 pool 1 = 85670974 e96b1f8f 51244abf 5863283f pool 2 = 03564c6c eba81d03 55c77fa1 760374a7 0: 72 80 (+8) 1: 36 52 (+16) 2: 32 36 (+4) 3: 32 36 (+4) 4: 28 40 (+12) 5: 32 40 (+8) 6: 32 40 (+8) 7: 32 36 (+4) 8: 28 44 (+16) 9: 36 36 (+0) $ cc -W -Wall -m32 -Os -march=native random.c -o random32 # ./perftest ./random32 pool 1 = 85670974 e96b1f8f 51244abf 5863283f pool 2 = 03564c6c eba81d03 55c77fa1 760374a7 0: 108 132 (+24) 1: 44 44 (+0) 2: 76 40 (-36) 3: 44 48 (+4) 4: 36 40 (+4) 5: 32 44 (+12) 6: 40 56 (+16) 7: 44 36 (-8) 8: 44 40 (-4) 9: 32 40 (+8) $ $ cc -W -Wall -m64 -Os -march=native random.c -o random64 # ./perftest ./random64 pool 1 = 85670974 e96b1f8f 51244abf 5863283f pool 2 = 03564c6c eba81d03 55c77fa1 760374a7 0: 96 108 (+12) 1: 44 52 (+8) 2: 40 40 (+0) 3: 40 36 (-4) 4: 40 32 (-8) 5: 36 36 (+0) 6: 44 32 (-12) 7: 36 36 (+0) 8: 40 36 (-4) 9: 40 36 (-4) Yours looks much more careful about the timing. A few GCC warnings I ended up fixing: 1) "volatile" on rdtsc is meaningless and ignore (with a warning) 2) fast_mix2() needs a void return type; it defaults to int. 3) int main() needs a "return 0" Here's what I got running *your* program, unmodified except for the above (meaning 3 inner loop iterations). Compiled with GCC 4.9.0 (Devian 4.9.0-6), -O2. i7-4940K# ./perftest ./ted32 fast_mix: 430 fast_mix2: 431 fast_mix: 442 fast_mix2: 464 fast_mix: 442 fast_mix2: 465 fast_mix: 442 fast_mix2: 431 fast_mix: 442 fast_mix2: 465 fast_mix: 431 fast_mix2: 430 fast_mix: 442 fast_mix2: 431 fast_mix: 431 fast_mix2: 465 fast_mix: 431 fast_mix2: 465 fast_mix: 431 fast_mix2: 431 i7-4940K# ./perftest ./ted64 fast_mix: 454 fast_mix2: 465 fast_mix: 453 fast_mix2: 465 fast_mix: 442 fast_mix2: 464 fast_mix: 453 fast_mix2: 464 fast_mix: 454 fast_mix2: 465 fast_mix: 453 fast_mix2: 465 fast_mix: 442 fast_mix2: 464 fast_mix: 453 fast_mix2: 464 fast_mix: 453 fast_mix2: 464 fast_mix: 453 fast_mix2: 465 In other words, pretty damn near the same speed (with 3 loops). So we still have some discrepancy to track down.
