fixes #163
We don't use these functions by default to estimate the overhead,
but right now they give the answer of:
Which is not a particular helpful estimate of the costs. With
a inference barrier we have a for-loop and a call to a function.
We explicitly note in https://github.com/JuliaCI/BenchmarkTools.jl/blob/master/doc/manual.md#understanding-compiler-optimizations
that compiler optimizations like that have to be accounted for by the user
This is more accurate and seems more stable, but requires a large number
of iterations to converge, probably means we should revitalize #94.
