Another technique is factoring out looping and other overheads by
running empty loop as a reference:

    start = current time
    for N iterations
       initialize array
       run the sieve
    end loop;
    total1 = start - current time

    start = current time
    for N iterations
       initialize array
    end loop;
    total2 = start - current time

    average = (total1 - total2) / N  -- sieve only

P.S. Optimizations is a usual suspect of ruining benchmark measures.
