blake2 simd benches produce unexpected results

まず、デフォルト構成と simd 構成について示されている 2 つの cargo +nightly bench コマンドを実行し、次に Blake2 ベンチマークのエントリポイントとスループットの計算方法を調べます。報告される MB/s の値が測定されたベンチマーク時間を正確に反映し、2 つの構成間で一貫していれば完了です。

I ran blake2 tests with and without simd feature enabled and found that behavior is strange and doesn't make a lot of sense.

Default (no simd):

$ cargo +nightly bench

Simd:

I expected simd version to produce better results and judging by the total execution time it is the case, but throughput reported by the benchmark says the opposite.

I suspect something is wrong with benchmarking code.

Using latest master (cc523733e5ba84b5a366825a7d1150bbbfea368b right now) and rustc 1.65.0-nightly (20ffea693 2022-08-11).
