I've been toying with some hash-functions and wanted to know how
people measure "cycles/byte". On my 1.5 GHz, win xp machine (on-line
with several programs running), I can push an 18 MB zip file through
my alg in about 0.1 sec. Back of envelope, I get ((1.5 bil cyc/sec) *
(0.1 sec) / (18 mil bytes) = 8.3 cyc/byte.)

Does anyone know how to accurately calculate the cyc/byte?

Thanks.
