+
+Conclusion
+
+In an empty loop, the generic marker is faster than the optimized marker. This
+may be due to better performances of the movzbl instruction over the movb on the
+Pentium 4 architecture. However, when we execute a loop of 4kB copy, the impact
+of the movzbl becomes greater because it uses the memory bandwidth.
+
+The preemption disabling and call to a probe itself costs 48.11 cycles, almost
+as much as dynamically parsing the format string to get the variable arguments
+(40.48 cycles).
+
+There is almost no difference, on x86, between passing the arguments directly on
+the stack and using a variable argument list when its layout is known
+statically (0.89 cycles vs 2.74 cycles).
