if it where so simple ...
but it isnt, the code is flawed and wont tell you much usefull
the first problem is that its all executed just once, so the code wont be in 
the code cache, practically no speed critical piece of code would be executed 
just once ...
the second problem is that every instruction uses the result of the previous, 
while this gives one interresting value for comparission we should also 
meassure how fast cpus are if the instructions dont depend upon each other
