First, if it completes successfully this means it completed
a ton of cycles without errors. It caches any missing barriers
which aren't nops on your system.

Second - use perf.

E.g. simple perf stat will measure how long does it take to execute.
there's a script that runs it on different CPUs,
so I normally do:

sh run-on-all.sh perf stat -r 5 ./skb_array
