I modified ztest.c to be able to bench on various data files (you list them on the command line), but result are pretty much same. I cannot measure any sensible difference between the two. Attached there's ztest.c and the diff, in case you want to try on your own.

An LD_PRELOAD pointing to your own build should do it.
