Hi) sorry for bad English

I need to count latency for two instruction, and all I have is the arm cortex A 8 documantation(charter 16) !

    If I use three buffers with 4096 bytes size, the cycle count increases to around 140 cycles. I have given the code  here, r1,r2,r3 has the address of buffer1,buffer2 and buffer3 respectively.


    However, if the buffer size is not a multiple of 4096, cycle count is normal.


    140 cycles for each iteration of the loop ?
