On what uarch?

I think I tested hand coded asm version and it ended up about double the
cycles for a cmpxchg loop vs the direct instruction on an IVB-EX (until
the memory bus saturated, at which point they took the same). Newer
parts will of course have different numbers,

Can't we run some iperf on a 40gbe fiber loop or something? It would be
very useful to have an actual workload we can run.
