I got following. delta for syscall: 9112 cycles = 2.977778 us delta for syscall: 1224 cycles = 0.400000 us delta for syscall: 1071 cycles = 0.350000 us delta for syscall: 1054 cycles = 0.344444 us delta for syscall: 1054 cycles = 0.344444 us Likely first overhead related to cache population or gamma-ray radiation. If it happens only one (it does in my test), then everything is ok I think.
