Quick naive question as I haven't hacked perf bench before. Now perf stat gives the statistics of the performance counter or events. How do I get it to compute the stats of the throughput reported by perf bench? Something like perf stat -r 10 -- perf bench mm memset --iterations 10 doesn't quite give what I need. Pointers appreciated.
