The number of estimated iterations required to reach the benchtime is multiplied by a safety margin (to avoid falling just short) and then rounded up to a readable number. With an accurate estimate, in the worse case, the resulting number of iterations could be 3.75x more than necessary: 1.5x for safety * 2.5x to round up (e.g. from 2eX+1 to 5eX). This CL reduces the safety margin to 1.2x. Experimentation showed a diminishing margin of return past 1.2x, although the average case continued to show improvements down to 1.05x. This CL also reduces the maximum round-up multiplier from 2.5x (from 2eX+1 to 5eX) to 2x, by allowing the number of iterations to be of the form 3eX. Both changes improve benchmark wall clock times, and the effects are cumulative.

README
This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.
For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html
in your web browser.
After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install-source.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install/source.
Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed
under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See doc/install.html for more details.
