I just now re-read your e-mail and noticed you suggested a specific tool.
Oops, I haven't run that yet. I just made up my own in user space.
As I mentioned, since the changes are to the main loop that operates on
aligned buffers in multiples of 24 bytes, I focused my benchmarking there:

#define BUFFER 6114
static unsigned char buf[BUFFER] __attribute__ ((aligned(8)));
#define ITER 24 /* Number of test iterations */

uint32_t
do_test(uint32_t crc, uint32_t (*f)(void const *, unsigned, uint32_t))
{
int i, j;
for (i = 0; i < BUFFER; i += 8)
for (j = i+24; j <= BUFFER; j += 24)
crc = f(buf+i, j-i, crc);
return crc;
}

uint32_t
time_test(uint64_t *time, uint32_t crc, uint32_t (*f)(void const *, unsigned, ui
nt32_t))
{
uint64_t start = rdtsc();
crc = do_test(crc, f);
*time = rdtsc() - start;
return crc;
}

The actual test goes in ABBA order to reduce bias:

for (i = 0; i < ITER; i += 2) {
crc1 = time_test(times[i]+0, crc1, crc_pcl_1);
crc2 = time_test(times[i]+1, crc2, crc_pcl_2);
crc2 = time_test(times[i+1]+1, crc2, crc_pcl_2);
crc1 = time_test(times[i+1]+0, crc1, crc_pcl_1);
}

crc_pcl_1 is the old code, crc_pcl_2 is my revised version.


The results are as follows (the last line is a total):

I swapped the link order of the two .o files in case cache
placement made a difference:

It doesn't look like a slowdown; more like a 1% speedup.

I'll figure out tcrypt in a bit.
