magnum, do you have an explanation why the best benchmark result during
auto-tuning is usually substantially different from the final benchmark
in most of Agnieszka's formats?  I'm fine with eventually dismissing it
as "hard to achieve" and "cosmetic anyway", but I'd like to understand
the cause first.  Thanks!
