These cycles are consumed by retries and inefficient API calls enqueuing and
dequeuing smaller bursts than specified by the cmdline parameter. This results
in a larger cycle-count measurement and should not be interpreted as an offload
-cost measurement.

On hardware devices the throughput measurement is not necessarily the maximum
