A repeat count of 250 dropped it down to:

2.144582157 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.08% )

Also, if you're poking at the context switch path, something like:

$ taskset 1 perf stat -e cycles --repeat 10 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000

gives a good number and is usually more stable than hackbench.
thanks for the pointers
