 C was linked statically as dynamic linked influences times. Output was sent to /dev/null, so as
 to measure the calling and not the terminal.

 Results were measured by a ruby script. Mean and variance was measured until variance was low,
-always under one percent. Noop showed that program startup is a factor, so all programs loop to 1M.
