don't need to make samples, you can fake the identifiers with virtualization and measure the delta.

But that has virtualization overhead. You don't want to measure that/risk being accused of measuring that.

Run both processes in a virtual environment then. Hell, that's where a lot of machines are running anyway. At least in server environments.

Also the overhead these days is pretty marginal, been running macos on an amd CPU emulating a Pentium(since macos also looked for Intel) and it beat all Mac pros of that time in cinebench etc
