you might want to disable the CPU frequency scaling while running the benchmark using a script like:
```bash
sudo cpupower frequency-set --governor performance
./mybench
sudo cpupower frequency-set --governor powersave
for f in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_governor
do
before=`cat $f`
echo "performance" > $f
./mybench # run your benchmark here
echo $before > $f
done
