Bob, i found nothing wrong with Vincent's code. He does N-random hashreads and
aggregates the time used. I thought about some factor 2 error - but found no one
so far. Random Hashreads, like chess programs do.

1e9 random hash reads take 265 seconds (including ~60 seconds overhead) on my
athlon-pc, however latency is defined. Any explanation? Any systematical error
or assumption? What does lm-bench do, to measure latency?

Regards,
Gerd
