Not going to dismiss it, but I did try to not do stupid stuff. I used QueryPerformanceCounter outside the loop, pinned the benchmark thread to a single core, and the array of elements it processed was fairly large. So I don't think overhead and throttling was an issue. The measurements were very consistent and repeatable.
