I wouldn't call the experiment meaningless. If anything, we need more of these — simple but properly conducted measurements of things of some practical relevance.

Even if nobody who knows how a compiler for C and C++ works is the slightest bit surprised of the results, it's still reassuring, and hard data that can be referred to and used to convince those in the doubt.
