I'm not sure if that's what you look for, but certain perf operations

https://code.google.com/p/honggfuzz/source/checkout - which serves
other purpose, but uses perf as well. This behavior could be well by
design though, I haven't checked yet.

It will only work under newer Intel CPUs BTW.

Hi Robert,

thank you, this is very interesting and seems to be one potential

Nice tool by the way !
