Thanks for the reply.
In my case we ran 2 different compilers each with optimization levels O3, O2
and o). The numbers were different but consistent for each run. Nearly all
of the percentages were above 5%, but there were some well below.
ICC Opt level O3:
Isosurface Cache                127619           41187     32.27
Mesh                          15396094           65150      0.42
Plane                         92422022         1296548      1.40
Sphere                       282061960       167429963     59.36

GCC Opt level O3
Isosurface Cache                131983           41748     31.63
Mesh                          15317900           65226      0.43
Plane                         92179859         1292354      1.40
Sphere                       281530294       166539345     59.16

I'll rerun the benchmarks for one of the above to make sure that these
numbers are identical. I was asked to place the raw results in the paper,
but if I do, I would need to explain them in some general terms.
