I think "BM_DumpHashMap/1/64k" means the program "BM_DumpHashMap",
the map having only "1" entry, and the map preallocated size is "64k"?
What is the "Iteration" here? The number of runs with the same dump?
The CPU(ns) is the system cpu consumption, right? The Time/CPU is for
all iterations, not just one, right? It would be good
if the above results can be described better, so people can
understand the results better.
