Yes, but we don't have your setup ready for debugging on. And many of
us don't have Windows.
Can you try building for -avx? The issue should be gone then (in that
build), as that disables use of the assembly code.

Yes, the speeds look sane now, and clearly those with no assembly code
are impacted by -O0 a lot.
One thing that is still unclear to me is why you have a 2x gap between
real and virtual times. It looks like the virtual times are doubled,
much like they would be when running 2 threads, but I think you are not
(the DES code in x86-64.S isn't even thread-safe). So I am puzzled.
