Well, technically, these "cycles" could mean anything. You could report the number of microseconds, Joules, whatever. The important information is the ratio compared to the total number of "cycles". Perhaps Morten's suggestion (units) would be more precise, but I fear it would also be more confusing. I don't mind adding the specific TSC cycles nomenclature if there is a consensus. Cheers
