Indeed, microbenchmarks like these are surprisingly difficult to write
well, and they often end up measuring something other than what the author
intends.

Microbenchmarks that are extracted from real programs -- e.g. pulling out a
"kernel" of hot code, possibly simplified -- are likely to be more useful,
though it's still possible to get them wrong too :)
