<p>
      Performance of <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Context</strong></span> was measured
      on the platforms shown in the following table. Performance measurements were
      taken using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">rdtsc</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">chrono</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">high_resolution_clock</span></code>,
      with overhead corrections, on x86 platforms. In each case, cache warm-up was
      accounted for, and the one running thread was pinned to a single CPU. The code
      was compiled using the build options, 'variant = release cxxflags = -DBOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS'.
