Hm, for these second round of measurements were you using 'perf stat -a -C ...'?
The most accurate method of measurement for such single-threaded workloads is something like:
taskset 0x1 perf stat -a -C 1 --repeat 20 ...
this will bind your workload to CPU#0, and will do PMU measurements only there - without mixing in other CPUs or workloads.
Thanks,
Ingo
