This might be a bit more constant, I suppose. This serialises with cpuid.
Don't see a difference locally, but perhaps you do.
Well, yes, at least on the PIII and the Opteron... Core2 is still changing
a lot...

On a Duron 1300 with an actual ISA bus, "out" is between 1300 and 1600 for
me and "in" between 1200 and 1500 with a few flukes above that which will I
suppose be caused by the bus (ISA _or_ PCI) being momentarily busy or some
such...
The results :

Core 2Duo 1.73 GHz :
[root@tux tmp]# ./in2
out: 2777
in : 2519
[root@tux tmp]# ./in2
out: 2440
in : 2391
[root@tux tmp]# ./in2
out: 2460
in : 2388

Pentium III :
[root@www-dev /tmp]# ./in2
out: 746
in : 747
[root@www-dev /tmp]# ./in2
out: 746
in : 747
[root@www-dev /tmp]# ./in2
out: 746
in : 745

AMD Opteron 150 :
-bash-3.1# ./in2
out: 4846
in : 4845
-bash-3.1# ./in2
out: 4846
in : 4846
-bash-3.1# ./in2
out: 4846
in : 4845
