Hmm. Do you have debugging options enabled? Because that CPU should
have the same core count as mine (two+HT), a slightly smaller cache
(3M vs 4M) and runs at a noticeably lower frequency (1.6GHz vs 3.5).
It probably also has slower memory etc, but that should still make it
maybe half speed of mine. Not 1/20th.

As mentioned, I get numbers in the 65M range. Yours are under 2.7M.
Even with some thermal throttling, I would expect better than that.

My pixel (1.8GHz i5-3427U) should be a *bit* faster that yours. And I
get 54M iterations on that.

I saw you mentioned CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF=y in your .config, so you
don't have spinlock debugging enabled, but maybe you have some other
expensive debug option enabled. Like DEBUG_PAGEALLOC etc.

If you get "perf" compiled, mind doing a

    perf record -f -e cycles:pp ./a.out
    perf report

on it and look what that says?
