No, there really isn't.

Notice column N — 2,000 6,000 10,000.

That's a command line argument passed to each program, controlling how many digits of pi are generated — the workload.

So, 2.58s for 10,000 digits and 1.04s for 6,000.

(And as it says, there can be a cold caches effect on the first measurements.)
