Rather, it runs cycles in increasing numbers until the total run time is over a threshold: the idea is that this reduces the impact of artefacts. So a faster codepath will be run more times (on average) than a slower one in order to give reliable results. You can choose to run only once with `\benchmark_single:n`, but then you have to deal with the issue of accuracy yourself. https://topanswers.xyz/?q=8173#a7768 https://topanswers.xyz/?q=8173#a7768 Thu, 16 Apr 2026 10:33:34
