When you use the Zen timer and get a fractional cycle count for the execution time of an instruction, that's often the DRAM refresh -cycle-eater at work. (The display adapter cycleis another possible +cycle-eater at work. (The display adapter cycle is another possible culprit, and, on 386s and later processors, cache misses and pipeline execution hazards produce this sort of effect as well.) Whenever you get two timing results that differ less or more than they seemingly should,
